Goulash(Gulyasleves)
Hungary
Donated By Ceresse

Here is a recipe for authentic Hungarian Goulash I learned to make from my grandmother who was a Gypsy decedents . Every family has its own version of Goulash. My family would NEVER consider tomato's or green peppers or other spices in Goulash. Some other dishes would have tomato or green pepper, but not Goulash. Slow cooking is the secret and you can never use too much paprika. I like to use 3 tablespoons. Hope you enjoy this dish, I have been raised on it.

Regards, Lady Ceresse

2 lb. Beef chuck
1 tsp. Salt
2 onions, white or yellow
2 Tbsp. Lard or shortening
2 Tbsp. (Imported) sweet paprika (most important to use real Hungarian paprika for ultimate flavor)

1 Qt. Water
4 peeled and diced potatoes
1/4 tsp. Black pepper
1/2 cup of long grain rice (optional)

Preparation:
Cut beef into 1 inch squares, add 1/2 tsp. Salt. Chop onions and brown in shortening, add beef and paprika. Let beef simmer in its own juice along with salt and paprika for 1 hr. On low heat. Add water, diced potatoes, rice and remaining salt. Cover and simmer until potatoes and rice are done and meat is tender.

Prepare egg dumpling batter:

1 egg
6 Tbsp. Flour
about.1/8 tsp. Salt or to taste.

Add flour to unbeaten egg and salt. Mix well. Let stand for 1/2 hour for flour to mellow. Drop by teaspoonful into Goulash. Cover and simmer 5 minutes after dumplings rise to surface.
