Answer 2

Chicken Goulash:

Fragrant with paprika and brimming with flavor, this Hungarian classic continues to please. Our quick version loses none of the original appeal.

1 tablespoon cooking oil
8 chicken thighs
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 onion, chopped
2 carrots, cut into 1/4-inch slices
2 ribs celery, cut into 1/4-inch slices
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons paprika
1 tablespoon flour
1/8 teaspoon cayenne
1 1/2 cups canned low-sodium chicken broth or homemade stock
1 1/2 cups canned crushed tomatoes in thick puree
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1 bay leaf
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1/4 teaspoon fresh-ground black pepper

1. In a large, heavy pot, heat the oil over moderately high heat. Season the chicken with 1/4 teaspoon of the salt and add it to the pan. Cook the chicken until browned, turning, about 8 minutes in all. Remove. Pour off all but 1 tablespoon fat from the pan.

2. Add the onion, carrots, celery, and garlic to the pan. Reduce the heat to moderate and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.

3. Reduce the heat to moderately low and add the paprika, flour, and cayenne to the pan. Cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Stir in the broth, tomatoes, the remaining 1 1/4 teaspoons salt, the thyme, and the bay leaf. Add the chicken and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat and simmer, partially covered, until the chicken is done, about 20 minutes. Remove the bay leaf and add the parsley and black pepper.

Menu Suggestions: Serve the goulash with spaetzle, buttered noodles, or boiled or mashed potatoes.

Wine Recommendation: With this dish, it's natural to experiment with one of the increasing number of reds imported from Hungary. Try Egri Bikavér or a varietal such as a merlot or a cabernet sauvignon.

Answer 3

Hungarian Goulash

1 tablespoon butter or margarine
1 cup chopped onions
1 tablespoon paprika
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon caraway seeds
1 teaspoon dill seed
1/4 teaspoon marjoram
1 1/2 pounds boneless beef chuck -- cut into 1 1/2" -- pieces
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups beef broth
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 cups peeled, 1-inch cubed potatoes
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
4 tablespoons sour cream

In a large stock pot over medium-high heat, add the butter or margarine. Add the onions and sauté until softened, 3 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Reduce the heat to medium and add the paprika, garlic, caraway seeds, dill seed, and marjoram. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.

Add the beef and stir to combine. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the flour and stir until it is absorbed into the onions and beef, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the broth, tomato paste, and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a boil and stir to deglaze and dislodge any bits of food that have stuck to the bottom of the pan and to incorporate the flour. Scrape your stirring spoon to free any flour that has adhered to it.

Reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally. Add the potatoes, cover and simmer for 30 to 45 minutes, or until the meat are tender, stirring occasionally. Season with salt and pepper. Top each serving with 1 tablespoon of sour cream.

Answer 4

Pretty simple actually. Ground beef browned, one lg. can of "stewed tomatoes original" not the italian or mexican, just original. Large elbow macaroni 2 cups, boil till al dente. Put the tomatoes in a blender and pulse until tomatoes are small chunks rather than large ones. Pour tomatoes into drained beef and add salt and pepper to taste, simmer for twenty min. and then add to pasta.

Answer 5

I don't know if this is right but growing up my mom called goulash just speg.sauce, 1lb browned ground beef, 1lb. mac. noodles. Season to taste. VERY SIMPLE mix it all in one pot.

Beef Goulash
Recipe courtesy Tyler Florence

Difficulty: Easy
Yield: 8 servings
Rating: * * * * *

4 slices bacon, chopped
3 pounds boneless beef shank, trimmed and cut into 2-inch cubes
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 medium onions, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 roasted red bell peppers, peeled and sliced
3 tablespoons Hungarian sweet paprika
2 teaspoons caraway seeds, toasted and ground
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 (15-ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes, hand crushed
6 cups low-sodium beef broth
4 russet potatoes, peeled and thickly sliced
1/2 cup sour cream
Chopped flat-leaf parsley, for garnish


Place a large heavy pot over medium heat and add the bacon. Fry for about 5 minutes until crisp and remove to a paper towel and reserve. Add the beef to the hot bacon fat and brown it evenly on all sides, turning with tongs; season generously with salt and pepper. While the beef is searing, sprinkle the flour evenly in the pot and continue to stir to dissolve any clumps. Add a little oil if necessary to keep the meat from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
Toss in the onions, garlic, roasted peppers, paprika, and caraway; cook and stir for 2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in the vinegar, tomatoes, and broth. Bring to a boil, then lower to a simmer and cook for 1 hour, covered, stirring occasionally.

Add the potatoes. Crumble the reserved bacon into the stew and continue to simmer for 30 minutes, partially covered, until the potatoes are tender. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and stir the sour cream into the goulash just before serving. Garnish with the chopped parsley.

Hungarian Goulash
Recipe courtesy Elizabeth Molnar

Difficulty: Medium
Prep Time: 45 minutes
Cook Time: 2 hours
Yield: 4 to 6 servings
Rating: * * * * *

1 strip bacon
2 onions, medium dice
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 1/2 pounds stewing beef, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 garlic clove
Pinch caraway seeds
2 tablespoons good quality sweet paprika (see cook's note)
2 cups warm water
2 cubes beef bouillon
2 whole canned tomatoes, chopped
1 green bell pepper
4 or 5 potatoes
2 tablespoons sour cream, plus more for plating
1 pound prepared spaetzle, as an accompaniment
Cucumber salad, as an accompaniment, recipe follows

Cook's Note: using good quality paprika is important. After about a year, paprika spice tends to lose its intensity. Use the best quality possible!
In a cold, heavy 6 to 8-quart stewing pot, fry bacon over low-medium heat until fat is rendered, and then discard bacon slice.
Saute onions in the bacon fat for a few minutes, do not allow the onions to brown. If bacon does not provide enough fat, add a little olive oil to prevent the onions from sticking. When onions become glossy, add the beef, sauteing with the onions for about 10 minutes, covered, until the meat is browned.
Meanwhile, chop and crush the garlic with the caraway seeds; add to meat and onions. Remove pot from heat. Stir in paprika rapidly with a wooden spoon. Immediately after paprika is absorbed, add the warm water. The water should just cover the meat, leaving room for potatoes.
Add beef bouillon cubes. Cover pot and cook over low heat for about 1 hour.
While stew is braising, prepare the tomatoes by cutting into 1-inch pieces. Core green peppers and cut into strips. After 1 hour of braising, add the tomatoes and green pepper. Add a little more water, if necessary and a little more salt if you need it. Simmer slowly for another 30 minutes.
Peel potatoes and cut into bite-sized cubes and set aside in a bowl of water. Add potatoes, and cook another 30 minutes until the potatoes are fork tender and the goulash is done.
Once goulash is finished, dissolve sour cream and a little of the goulash sauce in a cup. Add to goulash, it should give a creamy consistency. Serve goulash with spaetzle on the side, adding an extra dollop of sour cream to each plate.

Cucumber Salad:
2 cucumbers
Seasoned salt
1/2 onion
1/2 cup white vinegar
1/4 cup water
2 teaspoons sugar
1/8 teaspoon sweet paprika
Pinch dill, dried or fresh (optional)
Dollop sour cream (optional)

Peel and slice cucumbers very thinly. The side of a metal grater with the wide slots works best here, or you can use a mandoline. Place cucumbers in a flat dish and sprinkle throughout with salt, making sure that all the slices are salted. Leave to rest for 30 minutes. The salt will draw the moisture out of the cucumbers. Cut the onion into paper-thin slices and place in a container. Once the cucumbers have released water, use your hands to squeeze out the excess water and add to the onions. The cucumbers are supposed to be limp, but still crisp.
In a measuring cup mix vinegar, water, sugar and paprika to create a vinaigrette. Pour over the cucumbers and onions and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 1/2 hours.
Cook's secret: make the cucumbers before the goulash and it will be perfectly marinated by the time you are done making the stew!
Serve with a sprinkle of dill and a little dollop of sour cream if desired.
