I crave those dinners to this very day! When asked to bring an authentic hungarian side dish to a party recently, I made an enquirey to my Mother, Colleen Lowe Fenrich, to see if she remembered how Grandma Fenrich made her Cucumber and Sourcream salad. Happily, she knew exactly how to prepare it! Here's the recipe... It's meant to accompany any "Paprikash" (paprika) main dish and is very easy to prepare and so refreshing! It's easier to make this dish the night before your meal, as the cukes need to soak. Ingredients: 4 - 6 fresh cucumbers Salt Real (not reduced fat) Sour Cream Paprika Peel and slice the cucumbers PAPER THIN (I used the slicer on a grater). Place in big bowl with salt water (not sure how much salt, just salty). Cover and place in Fridge for at least 5 hrs. or overnight. Rinse sliced cukes. Strain cukes, then really squeeze (little handfuls) the water out of them. Mix with sour cream (to saturate, but not too much). Place in pretty bowl and sprinkle with lots of paprika. Let sit for a while in the fridge then serve with meal. I'm searching for a good recipe for Chicken Paprikash to try... anyone have any ideas? Cheryl Fenrich Stoner

She told me that the recipe was given her by her mother's mother who lived outside Budapest. It's been in the family ever since. I've made it a couple of times, but it never tastes as good as Grandma's cooking.

Cheryl,
I have a recipe for Grandma's chicken paprika somewhere. Will try to dig it out and send it to you. She told me that the recipe was given her by her mother's mother who lived outside Budapest. It's been in the family ever since.

I've made it a couple of times, but it never tastes as good as Grandma's cooking.
