To make this delicious cream sauce, start by melting the butter in a pan over low heat. Add the tomato paste and blend it with the sour cream, stirring everything together with a wooden spoon.
Next, season with salt and add both types of paprika. Let the mixture heat gently over low heat, preferably using a double boiler to prevent scorching.
Finally, transfer the sauce to a bowl, straining it through a fine sieve. This cream sauce is excellent served with pork roasts or red meat roasts.
Paprika Facts:
Paprika comes in both sweet and hot varieties and is also known as red pepper. In cooking, it’s used to flavor stews with red or white meat, game, fish, eggs, vegetables, cheese creams, rice, and some sauces. Paprika is a powder that loses its aroma quickly, so it should not be stored for long periods.
