- Here's my recipe for goulash / goulash soup. I got it
- in several different forms from friends and relatives.
- In this area, the population has a high number of German
- and Dutch people and everyone seems to have their own
- favourite, "correct", version.
-
- Goulash
-
- Cube some stewing beef, and as well, chop up a big
- onion and some parsley. Heat up a pot and drizzle in some
- oil... There are some people who insist on bacon fat.
- Fry the beef. Throw in the onion and fry as well. Pour
- in some water, toss a soup bone in the pot and let simmer.
-
- While the beef / onion is simmering, peel a garlic clove and
- pop into the pot. I almost always add some carrots and
- celery (to try and sneak veggies into my husband) at this point.
- After about 1/2 an hour (ie. go and watch a tv show),
- return to the pot and put in lots of Hungarian Paprika, salt,
- fresh black pepper, cayenne pepper, the chopped parsley, and
- any other seasonings you want. Cook until meat is tender.
-
- The longer you cook paprika the more bitter it will be.
- Whether this recipe becomes a soup or not depends on the amount
- of water you add. If you like a thick gravy, you can make
- the sauce richer by adding grated carrot or barley (I hate
- thickening with cornstarch).
-
- This is particularly good with German dumplings or with
- buttered egg noodles. Sorry that I don't have any
- specific measurements, but I don't measure anything when cooking
- and no-one in my family does either...
-
- Good luck.
