👩🍳 Instructions:
1️⃣ Boil the lungs: In a pot, cover the cleaned lungs with water and simmer for 1.5–2 hours until tender. Drain, let cool, and cut into small pieces.
2️⃣ Sauté the onions: In a large pan, melt butter or lard over medium heat. Add onions and garlic, cooking until soft and fragrant.
3️⃣ Add flour & spices: Stir in flour, paprika, and caraway seeds (if using), cooking for 1 minute to form a light roux.
4️⃣ Create the sauce: Slowly add the broth, whisking to avoid lumps. Add the bay leaf, vinegar, sugar, and the cooked lungs. Simmer for 20 minutes.
5️⃣ Finish with sour cream: Stir in sour cream, season with salt and pepper, and let cook for another 5 minutes. Remove bay leaf before serving.
