It's the time of year for spooky treats and dishes of all sorts. I'll start with a meal from one of the first horror novels: Paprika Hendl from Dracula There's several different versions of this dish, this is the recipe I've used before. 1 lb. chicken 2 Tablespoons of olive oil 2 Chopped onions 1-2 cloves of garlic (optional) 2 Tablespoons Hungarian Paprika 1/2 Cup of tomato juice or tomato sauce 2 Tablespoons of flour 1/2 Cup of sour cream Defrost and cut chicken into serving-size pieces. In a large pot, lightly saute chopped onions in oil until brown. Blend half of your paprika with your onions. Add tomato juice, garlic, and raw chicken to the mix. Cover the pot, and let it simmer on low heat for 1 hour. Remove the chicken from the stew Thoroughly blend in remaining paprika, flour and sour cream; use a mixer of some kind, if necessary. Simmer for a few minutes, stirring constantly. Ladle sauce over chicken, and enjoy. If you want a spicier dish then use hot paprika instead of the sweet variety. If you really want to make the dish Halloween themed then use black bone chicken, assuming you can find some. Personally I go lighter on the onions then what the recipe recommends. If you're going strictly traditional then this should be served over spaetzle or nokedli or some other small dense dumpling. If you can't make it or don't have a source for dried spaetzle then short, heave noodles or even rice can be used as an alternative.
