Erős Pista 200g - Hot Paprika Sauce

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

What is it?

Erős Pista is a household name in Hungary, commonly found in restaurants and on dinner tables, popular among both locals and visitors.

It is made from spicy, raw red peppers that are sun-ripened on the Hungarian Great Plain. These peppers are carefully harvested and coarsely minced to preserve their intense heat and natural crunch.

This versatile ingredient is ideal for chili lovers, with a heat level of around 1000 SHU on the Scoville Scale. If you want something even spicier, you can try Haragos Pista, while the milder version, Édes Anna, offers an authentic paprika taste without the burn.

How can I use it?

The raw peppers in Erős Pista are preserved with salt, which gives the sauce a long shelf life; however, you should consider this when using it in recipes.

• You can add it to goulash, chiken paprikash or pepper stews to create traditional versions of these classic dishes.

• It can transform chicken soup or vegetable broths by adding a burst of extra heat.
• Use it in marinades and sauces or mix it into curries and casseroles for a delightful fusion cuisine experience.
• A dash will elevate your sandwiches, toasties, and pizzas with a mouth-watering kick. You can also mix it into scrambled eggs before cooking for a unique culinary twist.
