Bulgarian pork and leek stew with tomato, paprika and white wine.
About Kavarma
Kavarma is a Bulgarian slow-cooked meat dish with many regional and household versions. This profile follows a pork kavarma kebap built around leeks, onion, tomato, paprika and white wine.
Pork supplies rich savoury depth, while leeks and onion soften into a sweet aromatic base. Tomato and paprika bring warm red flavour, and white wine adds gentle acidity before parsley freshens the finish.
The finished kavarma is a thick, glossy stew of tender pork pieces and collapsed leeks in a brick-red sauce. Most of the liquid cooks down, leaving the meat and vegetables richly coated rather than soupy.
