Hungarian Veal Stew (Borjupörkölt) image

A thick, rich and spicy, peasant stew, closely related to goulash soup. The perfect thing for a cold winter's day. This recipe is a mix between one that appeared in the newspaper column "Mother Magyar" by Meryl Constance, my great-great-grandmother's family recipe, and one in "The Hungarian Cookbook" by Susan Derecskey.

Time 1h40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

1 tablespoon oil or 1 tablespoon lard
1/4 cup onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup tomato juice
2 cups beef stock (or replace 1/2 cup of beef stock with red wine)
1 tablespoon paprika
1 lb veal or 1 lb beef, cut into bite-sized cubes
1 teaspoon salt
cayenne pepper, to taste
3/4 lb potato, diced into 1/2 " pieces (approx. 2 cups)

Steps:

Heat the oil in large saucepan and fry the onion and garlic gently until onion is golden;.
add tomato juice and 1 cup stock.
Sprinkle on the paprika and when this is bubbling add the meat and stir to coat it.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and braise slowly for about 45 minutes to 1 hour or until very tender.
When everything else is cooked through, add potatoes, salt, pepper, remaining stock, and taste for seasonings; cook 25-30 minutes more.
Serve with nokedli or csipetke.

Tips:

For the most flavorful stew, use high-quality veal meat. Look for meat that is well-marbled and has a good amount of fat.
Brown the veal meat in batches in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. This will help develop the flavor of the meat and prevent it from stewing.
Use a good quality paprika for the stew. Hungarian paprika is a particularly good choice, as it has a rich, smoky flavor.
Add a variety of vegetables to the stew, such as onions, carrots, celery, and bell peppers. This will add flavor and texture to the dish.
Simmer the stew for at least 1 hour, or until the meat is tender and the vegetables are cooked through.
Serve the stew with mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or rice.
