Chicken Paprikash from 1892

The first part of Bram Stoker's Dracula is the journal of Jonathan Harker as he travels from England to Transylvania, which is written similarly to a modern travel blog. He makes note of the food that he eats, notably "a chicken done up some way with red pepper, which was very good but thirsty." He calls it "paprika hendl" because Transylvania was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire at the time, and hendl is a German word for chicken, but today we know it as chicken paprikash.

This recipe from 1892, just five years before Dracula was published, is absolutely delicious. It's a perfect homey, heartwarming dish for the fall and winter months.
