Goulash

Goulash – A Hearty and Flavorful Hungarian Stew

Goulash is a popular Hungarian dish that is both nourishing and delicious. This rich and flavorful stew originated in the Austro-Hungarian Empire and has since become a staple of Eastern European cuisine. Goulash is made with a variety of ingredients, including beef, vegetables, and noodles, which are slow-cooked in a paprika-spiced broth.

Recipe:

Ingredients:

• 2 pounds beef, cut into bite-sized pieces (you can use any combination of beef cuts you like)
• 2 medium onions, chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 medium bell peppers, sliced
• 1 large tomato, diced
• 1 teaspoon caraway seeds
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• 8 ounces noodles (such as egg noodles or macaroni)
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Instructions:

1. Heat the oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the beef and cook until browned, about 5 minutes.
2. Remove the beef from the pot and set it aside. Add the onions and garlic to the pot and cook until they are softened, about 3-4 minutes.
3. Add the bell peppers and tomato to the pot and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
4. Stir in the caraway seeds and paprika. Cook for 1 minute.
5. Add the browned beef back into the pot along with enough water to cover the ingredients. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for at least 30 minutes or until the meat is tender.
6. Cook the noodles according to package instructions and set aside.
7. Taste the goulash and adjust the seasoning as needed.
8. Serve the goulash hot over the noodles.

Variations:

• You can add other ingredients to your goulash, such as potatoes, carrots, or zucchini, to make it more hearty.
• For a vegetarian version, simply omit the beef and add extra vegetables instead.
• Goulash is also delicious with sausage or bacon added to the pot.

Tips:

• Traditionally, goulash is cooked in a clay pot over an open flame, which gives it a unique smoky flavor. If you have access to such a pot, feel free to use it!
• You can make this recipe ahead of time and refrigerate or freeze it for later. Reheat it gently before serving.
• Goulash is perfect for a cold winter’s day, but it’s also great as a comfort food anytime the weather turns chilly.
