This vegetarian Hungarian mushroom stew is pure comfort food. The porcini mushrooms and smoked paprika bring great depth of flavour and the sour cream and parsley bring the whole thing alive. The cheese and rosemary scones are the perfect tool to soak up all those juices. For another mushroom meal that&#8217;ll warm the cockles, try our wild mushroom and madeira stew. Perfect with a glass of red.

You’ll also need…

Baking sheet lined with compostable baking paper

Soak the dried mushrooms in the stock for 20 minutes, then strain the liquid (reserving it) and set aside.

Heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a flameproof casserole. Fry the fresh mushrooms in batches, adding more oil, until golden brown. Remove from the pan and set aside.

Add the remaining oil and fry the onion, peppers, garlic, paprika and caraway seeds with a little salt and pepper for 10 minutes until softened. Return the fried mushrooms to the pan, add the rehydrated porcini and stir in the stock, chopped tomatoes and tomato purée. Bring to the boil, cover and simmer gently for 45 minutes (see Make Ahead).

Meanwhile, make the scones. Heat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan/ gas 7. Sift the flour into a bowl and add the salt. Rub in the butter until the mixture resembles fine crumbs, then stir in the cheese and rosemary. Make a well in the centre and work in the buttermilk until the dough just comes together.

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and shape gently into a disc roughly 22cm across and 2cm thick. Transfer to the prepared sheet, then cut into 8 wedges, leaving the slices in the round.

Brush the tops lightly with a little extra buttermilk and bake for 20-25 minutes until risen, golden and firm. Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack.

Remove the lid from the stew and scatter over the parsley. Serve with the cheese and rosemary scones and a dollop of soured cream, dusted with smoked paprika.

Serve each bowl garnished with a pinch of parsley. Serve with a slice of fresh crusty bread, for dipping.

Absolutely delish! I only had Hungarian sweet and spicy  paprika. I used the it in place of both, listed, therefore, it was a bit more spicy. Everyone loved it. One of quietest meals we have had except for spoons clanking bowls and an occasional "pass the bread"...Thanks again for a great recipe!!

In the ingredients list, you have "1 small lemon." However, the lemon doesn't appear anywhere in the instructions. It's cooking right now and smells fantastic. We can't wait to ladle it into our bowls! But I'm confused about the lemon thing. Please clarify.

Delicious and very flavorful. My husband loved it and he usually makes no comments on my cooking! 5 Stars!

The recipe calls for a small lemon.  I see no instructions on how to use it,

Sounds great, thanks for another delicious recipe.

Lauren this is the most authentic recipe for this soup I've seen outside of our old family cookbook. Good to see the caraway and marjoram! The only differences are the wine (which I'm going to try now :) and a cubanelle pepper vs the red bell (which may bring a bit too much sweetness). You might like to add the traditional little pinched noodles called csipetke at the end, which was a really fun job for a kid to make, and dropped directly into the soup. Thanks!
