Cook on low flame for 40 minutes. Then there are potatoes on the meat and add carrots, leeks, and celery, then the Pichelsteiner stew can cook for another 10 minutes in no time.
To top it off, season with salt, pepper, and paprika. The Pichelsteiner stew should be slightly creamy. The icing on the cake with the Pichelsteiner stew is the chopped parsley that has been stirred in.

The Pichelstein stew is served with a teaspoon of sour cream or creme fraiche, which you can add to your own soup. It is best to offer this with white bread or slices of french fries.
A light white wine goes well with it as a drink. If you prefer the non-alcoholic variety, we recommend bitter lemon, gin and tonic, and apple juice. A non-alcoholic beer should also not be missing.
So we not only wish you good luck. Enjoy it, above all else.
