Palacsintena is a traditional Hungarian dish that is typically made with pancakes, ground meat, and sour cream. However, this recipe takes a different approach by using cubed veal instead of ground meat. This twist on the traditional dish adds a new texture and flavor that will surprise and delight your taste buds. The sour cream is used to thicken the sauce and add a creamy tanginess that complements the paprika-seasoned veal perfectly. This dish is satisfying, hearty, and perfect for a cozy family dinner or a dinner party with friends.

Instructions

1.	Cut the veal into small cubes and season with salt and pepper.
2.	In a large skillet, heat the fat over medium-high heat until melted.
3.	Add the chopped onions and cook until they become translucent.
4.	Add the paprika and stir for 1-2 minutes.
5.	Add the cubed veal and cook for 8-10 minutes or until browned.
6.	Reduce heat to low and stir in the sour cream.
7.	Simmer for an additional 10 minutes or until the meat is tender.
8.	Serve hot with your favorite side dish.
