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.
