Erős Pista 200g - Hot Paprika Sauce

Erős Pista is an iconic Hungarian hot paprika sauce made from freshly ground raw peppers, perfect for infusing your dishes with an intensely spicy flavour.

What is Erős Pista?

Erős Pista is a household name across the country, and these jars are ubiquitous in restaurants and on dinner tables, popular with both visitors and locals alike.

The spicy, raw red peppers sun-ripened on the Hungarian Great Plain are carefully harvested and coarsely minced to retain their intense heat and natural crunch.

The result is a versatile ingredient ideal for chilli-lovers, with a heat level of around 1000 SHU on the Scoville Scale. If you are seeking something even spicier, then Haragos Pista is the bold condiment you are looking for. At the same time, the mild version called Édes Anna delivers an authentic pepper taste without the burn.

How can I use it?

The raw peppers are preserved with salt, which gives Erős Pista a very long shelf life; however, you need to take this into account when preparing recipes.

• Add it to goulash, pepper stews or chiken paprikash to create traditional versions of these classical dishes.
• Transform chicken soup or vegetable broths with a burst of tongue-tingling extra heat.
• Add it to marinades and sauces, or mix it into curries and casseroles to experience the best of fusion cuisine.
• A dash will give your sandwiches, toasties, and pizza a mouth-watering kick, while you can also mix it into scrambled eggs before cooking for a culinary twist.
