GOULASH



Goulash image

Not to be confused with the Hungarian dish of paprika-spiced stewed meat and vegetables, this American version of goulash, also referred to as "slumgullion," is made with ground beef and pasta. The beef is cooked down with plenty of aromatics and spices and combined with tomatoes, pasta, and cheese to create the perfect comfort meal. We added paprika to the dish in a nod to its Hungarian counterpart.

Time 45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 pound ground beef
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
1 tablespoon tomato paste
One 15-ounce can diced tomatoes
One 15-ounce can tomato sauce
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 cup low-sodium beef broth
8 ounces cavatappi pasta
4 ounces sharp Cheddar, shredded on the large holes of a box grater (about 1 cup), plus more for serving
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, plus more for serving

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Add the beef and cook, stirring and breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until browned and no longer pink, about 8 minutes. Add 1 teaspoon salt, a few grinds of pepper, the paprika, and Italian seasoning to the beef and stir to combine. Cook, stirring, until the paprika begins to toast and become fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir the tomato paste into the beef mixture to coat, then cook until the paste thickens and deepens in color, about 2 minutes.
  • Add the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, Worcestershire and beef broth to the beef mixture and stir, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot, to combine. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat to medium low and add the cavatappi. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is al dente, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Remove the pot from the heat. Gently stir in the parsley and Cheddar until combined and the cheese starts to melt. Divide the goulash among 6 bowls and top with more shredded Cheddar and chopped parsley.

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 0

Steps:

  • Heat up the oil or lard in a pot and braise the chopped onions in it until they get a nice golden brown colour
  • Sprinkle the braised onions with paprika powder while strirring them to prevent the paprika from burning.
  • Add the beef cubes and and sautee them till they turn white and get a bit of brownish colour as well.
  • The meat will probably let out its own juice, let the beef-cubes simmer in it while adding the grated or crushed and chopped garlic (grated garlic has stronger flavour), the ground caraway seed, some salt and ground black pepper, the bayleaf, pour water enough to cover the content of the pan and let it simmer on low heat for a while.
  • When the meat is half-cooked (approx. in 1,5 hour, but it can take longer depending on the type and quality of the beef) add the diced carrots and the potatoes, the cellery leaf and some more salt if necessary (vegetables tend to call for more salt). You'll probably have to add some more (2-3 cups) water too.
  • When the vegetables and the meat are almost done add the tomatoe cubes and the sliced green peppers. Let it cook on low heat for another few minutes. You can remove the lid of the pan if you want the soup to thicken.
  • Hungarian goulash is neither a soup nor a stew, its somewhere in between. Though in Hungary its considered rather to be a soup than a stew.
  • The soup is hearty enough without any pasta just serve with some fresh bread

Tips:

  • Fresh fish is key: Using fresh, high-quality fish is essential for making a delicious goulash. Look for fish that is firm to the touch and has a mild, briny smell.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the fish, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the fish from cooking evenly and will result in a soggy texture.
  • Use a good quality paprika: Paprika is a key ingredient in goulash, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a paprika that is vibrant in color and has a slightly smoky flavor.
  • Don't skimp on the vegetables: Vegetables add flavor, texture, and nutrition to goulash. Be sure to use a variety of vegetables, such as onions, carrots, celery, and bell peppers.
  • Simmer the goulash low and slow: Simmering the goulash low and slow allows the flavors to develop and meld together. This will result in a rich, flavorful goulash.
  • Serve with a dollop of sour cream: A dollop of sour cream adds a creamy, tangy flavor to goulash. It's the perfect finishing touch to this classic dish.

Conclusion:

Fish goulash is a delicious, hearty, and versatile dish that can be made with a variety of ingredients. Whether you're using a mild white fish or a more flavorful oily fish, the key is to use fresh, high-quality ingredients and simmer the goulash low and slow to allow the flavors to develop. With a little bit of effort, you can make a fish goulash that will impress your family and friends.
