CHICKEN PAPRIKASH question

[ChefJune]

FWIW, Mitmondol (Adrienne) IS Hungarian, so maybe that will explain a bit how passionate she is about her native food.

im certainly no expert in hungarian cuisine, but as a general rule, traditional and authentic recipes of most european countries call for a few number of ingredients, the more ingredients present, the better chance that one is deviating from the authentic recipe... think poverty, economics, product availability, food rationing, along those lines....

the one bit that i have gathered from "paprikas" is that traditionally it didnt contain tomatoes... but now, im not even sure thats true!
