Cherry soup - H, V, Q

Voila, that's it. Very easy and VERY yummy.

Cucumber Salad - H, V

How to prepare:
Slice up the cucumbers into thin slices.. using a grater is best (just slices, not strips). Put into a bowl and add lots of salt (two/three teaspoons). Mix thoroughly with hands. Let sit for half an hour (or more is not a problem).
Next, squeeze with hands to rinse out. Taste and if too salty, run some water on it and rinse again. Take the garlic, chop it up (best to press actually) and mix it in with the cucumbers. Now take some vinegar (about two tablespoons) and add. Add some (1 teaspoon) sugar as well. Mix. Then take some sour cream (two tablespoons), mix to smooth and then add to salad. Before serving, add some red paprika on top for decor.

Chicken Paprikash - H

Ingredients:
chicken breast (say a medium package)
one big onion (white not purple)
oil
3/4 tsp paprika (preferably authentic Hungarian )
1/4-1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup water
3 tbs sour cream
1 tbs flour
2 tbs water

Utensils: small pan, large pan, 2 mugs

How to perpare:
Cut big onion into small pieces. Cook in small pan using some oil until clear (make sure not to burn it!).
Cut chicken into pieces about 3x2 inches. Put oil in the big pan and cook both sides of the chicken pieces. At first, only put so many that they make one layer in the pan. Take out, put in next batch. Once all have been cooked on both sides (white but not brown) then put them all in the pan. Put the onions on top of the chicken pile and add salt plus the paprika. Add 1/2 cup water. Set heat to medium-low. Keep an eye on the dish. The chicken can lose lots of water. You don't want the whole pan to be filled with water because that will give the chicken a different flavor. Periodically, drain the pan of some water. DO NOT DUMP this liquid, rather, collect it in a mug. This will be very important and delicious sauce in the end that you will pour over the final dish. To drain the pan of water, you can either use a spoon or you can put the cover on the pan and VERY CAREFULLY tip it over. You want to make sure that you always leave some water on the bottom so the chicken doesn't burn! Do this for about 30 mins or when chicken seems to be soft.
Take flour and water in a mug and mix smooth. Add sour cream and mix. Once all smooth, pour over chicken and let cook for another couple of minutes. Also, don't forget all the extra sauce you have sitting in the mug on the side, be sure to pour that over the chicken when serving!

"Dairy dumplings" (Túrógombóc) - H, V, Q

And that's it. It is extremely easy. In fact, it's unbelievable that something so easy can taste so good.

"Nokedli" (Dumplings) - H, V, (Q)

Preparation:
In a bowl, stir together egg with butter/margarine, milk and salt. Add flour, a little at a time, stirring well after each addition until the mixture is the consistency of a smooth dough. If it looks too thick, add a bit of water, but be careful with that.
Boil water in a very big pot. When the water is boiling, put the dumpling-maker on top of the pot and pour the dough on top. Push back and forth with a wooden spoon to get the dough to go through the holes. Repeat until all of the dough has gone through. Then lower the heat and wait until all of the dough rises to the top of the water. Drain water, the "nokedli" is ready to serve. (If you won't serve it right away then it's a good idea to put some water in a smaller pan and then put the dumplings in another pan on top of that so the steam will keep it moist and then hopefully it won't stick together completely.)
