Excellant! Sauteed veal with a delightful paprika sauce flavored with onions, red bell peppers, fresh tomatoes and sweet Hungarian paprika.I made the recipe as directed except for using an additional 1/4 cup of cream to mix with the flour instead of water and served it with egg noodles. This would be a great dinner party dish. Make the sauce ahead of time and reheat it while you cook the veal. Add some chopped parsley to accent the colors of the sauce. I will make this again!

This (literally) was "gravy mopping" fantastic! . With 4 tbsp of butter and 8 pork cutlets, I was not able to actual brown them, fearing over cooking I pulled them out when "white" on both sides. I think the braising was a big part of these being almost butter tender. This will become a solid part of our menu rotation! Awesome!!

It's always a good sign in my house that a recipe is a keeper when my husband barricades himself in the kitchen with the second helping and won't share it with me! This is a great cold weather dish and the sauce is really delicious. I was excited to use my Hungarian Paprika I got from a friend who spent a few months living there last summer. It was awesome! I would also like to try this with chicken like Jen T mentioned.

Really tasty over mashed potatoes. A high quality paprika is key in this recipe.

Two things I changed: I ramped up the paprika to 2-1/2 tsp. - it just wasn't discernable at the recipe amount; I also cut the flour down to 1 tablespoon once I mixed it with water. I think it would have been sludge with the full 3 tbsp
