Hello Hungarians! I am in your wonderful country. Sorry I do not speak Hungarian. I bought this at the store today and am not sure how to use it in cooking. Can you help? Kösz!

1. Well. We put it even on the sandwiches. It’s good for anything! However no recipe will tell you to add this I think… 😬😆

   I usually put a little to lecsó, so it gives an extra taste. It depends what you wanna cook tho!

2. Mix it with bread and butter 🙂
   You can put it into an omelette, some put it in stew, or on pariser, “szalámi” etc. Probably you can put some into goulash as well. It has flavor enhancher, so it will change the taste spectrum of the meals.

3. You don’t cook with it – you take a slice of bread, spread some butter, put some slices of hard boiled egg on top and then cover it with spots of Piros Arany all over. Jó étvágyat!

4. As others already said, you can use it in a stew, or even chili beans or stuff like that – plus there is the sandwich option. But in any case, be warned that it is very salty. So it might be a good idea to be careful with it first.

5. Be aware it has a lot of salt in it. It is ground paprika with salt. Can use as addition in any stew where the recipe asks for paprika powder.

6. A dollop on top of a deviled egg elevates it a fair bit.

7. LOL

   This is the deeply-cherished, ridiculously beloved Hungarian nightmare “essential spice” called pirospaprika reformulated into a ketchup- sort of thing.

   Well, Hungarians use it for all their traditional salty dishes.

   They’re happy to use it on sandwiches, virsli, sausages, lángos, pizza, soups and a whole bunch of other stuff as well.

8. Bro, that’s toothpaste
