Goulash Soup

Thu, 03 Jan 2008 22:46:11 -0500

I'm unsure where this recipe originated but have been told it is a traditional Hungarian dish. It is slightly spicy, the meat is very tender and it is overall absolutely delicious. The recipe originally called for two tablespoons of paprika, but I reduced it to 1 1/2 to slightly decrease the heat. You can decrease the paprika further if desired. I recommend this soup to anyone searching for tummy-warming comfort food on a cold winter day. (Note: I am unsure why when one of the reviewers attempted this recipe, there was an inadequate amount of liquid. I have followed this exact recipe many times, all with the same successful result. If you're still a little hesitant, I guess it wouldn't hurt to add more liquid than directed, but remember to compensate by increasing the spice amounts. Also remember to use medium-sized potatoes only or a decreased amount of large potatoes, as using too much would make a difference as well. Hopefully this note helps!) -- posted by MarthaStewartWanabe

Wolfgang's Beef Goulash

Mon, 21 Jan 2008 21:29:12 -0500

While shopping, I discovered a big sale on boneless beef shank and bought a few pounds on a whim. Who can resist a sale? Not me; some people buy shoes; I buy groceries, what can I say. I have no experience preparing this cut of meat. As I was handeling this beef in preparation for packaging, I could tell that it was a very tough cut of beef. I knew this was going to be a challenge for me. I went in search of a recipes using it and came across this one on Yahoo.com It is a Wolfgang Puck recipe, and sounds delish. I've copied the recipe exactly as written, including the cooking time of 1-1/2 hours. I believe the cooking time will be considerably longer if it is to become tender. The preparation time I've entered is a "guesstimation" because, as I've said, I've not made this yet. If anybody prepares it before I get to it, please provide cooking details in the review process. I can't wait to test my cooking skills on this. -- posted by Happy Hippie

Iron Curtain Goulashsuppe

Wed, 05 Mar 2008 18:54:00 -0500

During the cold war I zig-zagged across the iron curtain and found myself one day in Buda- Pest the next day in Prague, the next day in Leipzig. I complied this pan central european beef stew by trying to take the best of each region. Then I Americanized it a bit, but mainly because the Hungarian agent I stole the last bit from threatened me with a fate worse than death should he ever taste his great grandmothers goulash Stateside. I contemplated killing him quietly, but decided to just tweak the recipe. His name was Alton something...anyway... -- posted by beefytee

Goulash Soup - Pork or Lamb (Júhus Vagy Diszno Gulyas)

Wed, 12 Mar 2008 18:53:41 -0400

Gulyás is a very traditional Hungarian dish and is one of the five most popular meat dishes on the North American cooking scene. Shepherds cubed the meat and cooked it with onions in a bogrács a heavy iron kettle and slowly stewed the dish until liquid was gone. With lots of liquid, it became Gulyásleves soup, but if less liquid was used; it was just Gulyás, a meaty stew. It is very delicious both ways with plenty of white crusty bread and good red wine. -- posted by Chef Czegeny

Bayrischer Gulasch: German Goulash Stew - Crock Pot or Oven

Thu, 29 May 2008 02:01:23 -0400

A firm favourite of mine when I lived in Herford in West Germany. This recipe comes from a German friend of mine who lives in Bavaria, and is delicious served with sour cream, dumplings or noodles - oh yes, don't forget the crusty sourdough bread as well! Although this is nice served with the above accompaniments, it is essentially a one pot meal which is sufficient to feed most hungry families. It can be cooked on the top of the stove or in a crock pot; the latter method is my favourite, especially when I am very busy or I need to go out! -- posted by French Tart

My Mother is Hungarian and this is someting we grew up eating and now my family loves it as well. I always find it amazing at how so few ingredients can make such rich flavor. Flavor actually improves the next day however it is rare that there are leftovers. It can be served with Nokedli/ Spetzli, rice or potatoes.

Moms' Hungarian Goulash

Wed, 02 Jul 2008 03:23:24 -0400

My mom makes great goulash. Being Hungarian, on my mothers' side, I learned very early how to make goulash. It's a staple in my house during those cold winter months. I've made it with beef, pork, lamb even chicken. Great when you're on a budget. BUT, you have to use Hungarian paprika, it's a whole other flavor! Goulash should be thick and you should be able to taste the paprika! I've seen some recipes and well they aren't authentic. -- posted by Serb Girl

Hungarian Stuffed Sauerkraut

Wed, 20 Aug 2008 02:20:16 -0400

This is a delicious Hungarian dish, usually made at Christmas time. My family loves it so much, that I have to make it more than once a year. As most Hungarian foods, this is a heavy one too! You can put the leftovers into the freezer, and warm it up even after a month. There is a saying in our country, which we use to describe a relationship, that was broken up, then warmed up again. "Only the sauerkraut is good warmed up", and this saying is true. It's just as good taken out of the freezer that it is served fresh. Enjoy! P.S: You shouldn't be choosey when you make this...you must taste it while preparing the raw meat!! -- posted by bagiem

Hungarian Chicken Soup

My Mom, made the greatest chicken soup. Unfortunately she didn't stay with us for long, so I didn't have time to learn from her. It took me years to bring it to perfection. Now I can say that it is "something like" my Mom's was. You can also make it with rooster, but in that case, two thighs, and a half of breast is enough. Enjoy! -- posted by bagiem

Chicken Goulash

Tue, 16 Sep 2008 22:30:14 -0400

Mouth-watering Hungarian goulash brimming over with chicken, onions and mushrooms. Paprika gives color and adds a spicy bite to the dish. Goulash originated in Hungary, and one of its most important ingredients is paprika which, together with tomatoes, produces a rich, deep red sauce. The best paprika still comes from Hungary, where it is produced in varieties that range from mild to very hot. Caraway seeds are added for texture and to help give the sauce its characteristic flavour. Traditionally, goulash is made with veal or pork, but it is adaptable to most meats, particularly chicken. Serve with baked or mashed potatoes and steamed green vegetables, such as cabbage and green beans. -- posted by English_Rose

Traditional Buttery French Croissants for Lazy Bistro Breakfasts

Fri, 26 Sep 2008 18:46:30 -0400

I do not profess to make these all the time; living in France gives me access to wonderful croissants and other French breakfast pastries, However, these are even BETTER than MOST I can buy at the boulangerie, really! It is a time consuming process to make them, but the results are well worth the effort. The butter-enriched dough can be made the night before and stored in the fridge, and it can also be frozen. Once you have the hang of adding the butter to the dough and turning and rolling it to trap the air in between the layers, you are nearly there with the technique. This is my own recipe for croissants, and the quantity yields between 8 and 12 croissants, depending on how accurate you are with the measurements of the triangles before they are rolled. I usually start my dough off in my bread machine for the mixing, kneading and proving - it just gives me more time in the kitchen to get on with other things. I have also given the traditional method by hand, and the dough can also be mixed with a dough hook in a food mixer - choose whatever method is best for you! These croissants can also be frozen - before being baked; defrost overnight in the fridge before baking as normal. Eat these with freshly ground coffee, freshly squeezed orange juice, fresh butter and a selection of confitures, jams and conserves. -- posted by French Tart

Real Hungarian Goulash

Tue, 07 Oct 2008 22:33:53 -0400

From Cook's Illustrated, Dec 2008. Use a chuck eye roast (RZ doesn't recognize this cut). Do not use hot, half-sharp or Spanish paprika; if you can, mail-order your sweet paprika and use a fresh container. Cook's Illustrated prefers The Spice House. The stew can be prepared up to 2 days ahead; do not add the optional sour cream until after reheating. Remove the hardened fat and add water to thin it. -- posted by DrGaellon

Veal Chops Paprikash

Crock-Pot Hungarian Beef Goulash

I had been searching for a good goulash recipe for quite some time, and finally made my own from bits of several others. No potatoes in this one (my crock-pot usually doesn't get them tender enough). It will need salt at the end or at the table - I cook with very little salt and add it at the end because many of my friends need low-sodium food. My SO has been telling people 'It was GOOD goulash' for days since I made it. Enjoy! -- posted by quondamquadrat

A fusion twist on a Hungarian family favorite! If you've never made spaetzle before and do not have a spaetzle maker, this will require some practice and arm/wrist work while making it.

Meatloaf, European-Style;

Mon, 02 Mar 2009 18:05:35 -0500

This is a typical Meatloaf found in eastern European kitchens and restaurants. My Dad who was a wonderful cook brought this with him when he came to America in the 20's. I've added the glaze when I started to prepare it myself. Also he used to use minced garlic, not the other type I now use. Remember to get lean ground pork. The pork I remembered seeing in the supermarkets had very visible pork fat. Try not to purchase that type. Buttered parslied potatoes and cucumber salad go especially well with this dish. You can use either a loaf pan or a 9x13. One tip said she used a loaf pan and was able to extract the grease before adding the glaze. Both pans are usable. See which one works best for you. -- posted by SarikaKisSzentem

Frugality is popular in Hungary, so even leftovers are brilliantly used to recreate dishes. This is our version of "fried rice."

Pork Ragu Hungarian Style

Thu, 13 Aug 2009 10:32:31 -0400

I tasted a dish that was named, "Ragu" in my favorite Hungarian restaurant, and made my own version from memory. This is a great way to spice up a simple pork cutlet, and have a delicious sauce that you can pour over pasta. For an added touch, you can add sour cream at the end. -- posted by Chef #489776

Spiced Pickled Red Cabbage

Here you are a canned Eastern European recipe for you to savory. Red cabbage made to last for months on end.... There are endless recipes and I went and added to them. I used home grown red cabbage, raspberry vinegar, red wine vinegar, apples and red onions. Yes of course I added spices. -- posted by ~Rita~

Chicken Paprikash (Hungarian Style I Think)

Mon, 28 Sep 2009 14:48:11 -0400

This is how my Grandma and Great Grandma have been making chicken paprikash forever. The recipes here on zaar are all gravies and thats not how we make ours. My Great Grandma was given a cookbook from the Hungarian Women's Auxilary in Detroit and that's where this comes from. I will also post a recipe for how we make kluskies seperately. Note: I never really measure, so with the paprika, you have to do this by taste and look. Oh! this is really easy to halve or cut down because 12 pieces of chicken is a lot, you defineitely don't have to use that many and you get the same result. -- posted by Melcat

Blu Jam Cafe's Goulash

Wed, 30 Sep 2009 01:06:45 -0400

Cold weather is just around the corner so this recipe from the LA Times' SOS column, kindly provided by chef Kamil Majer Blu Jam Cafe on Melrose Avenue at an appreciative customer's request, caught my eye. The customer noted he is a first generation Hungarian-American, who for twenty years has been searching for a goulash recipe that even remotely resembled his beloved grandma's... & this is it. Not only does it reheat well, it actually tastes better the next day - another one for the brown bag wide mouth thermos. BTW - pork shoulder works fine too - just trim either of excess fat & shoot for a pound and a half of meat to cube. Final bonus - the fresh pork is relatively inexpensive, especially for the quality of the protein & its wonderful flavor. -- posted by Buster's friend

Littlemafia's Potato Paprikash

Need something fast? Here you go...Oh, it can be done without the peppers too. Fry a sausage next to it if looking for something more consistent. Or slice it and add it to it, like my mom used to do.These days she doesn't eat a lot of potato paprikash,though. -- posted by littlemafia

Chicken Paprikas Omama Vargyas

Tue, 06 Oct 2009 11:31:18 -0400

Omama Etel Vargyas (Grandmother) was known for her awesome cooking talent even though she was totally blind. Her version of this traditional Hungarian dish always brought rave reviews when served over Nocadli (Spatzle). Best served with a simple garden salad and sliced sour dough rye bread. -- posted by rizabtwo (Chef #390866)

Goulash Base Recipe

Mon, 19 Oct 2009 20:46:54 -0400

By meat I mean: beef, pork,veal,chicken, lamb. I do not add flour to it coz it changes the taste.The slower the cooking the better the flavor; thus this dish lends itself to crock-pot cooking very well. -- posted by littlemafia

Chicken Paprikash

Mon, 26 Oct 2009 15:16:51 -0400

This is a family favorite! My husband's mother used to make this recipe for him as a child, and she passed it down to me and now I make it for my children. I admit to lightening up the recipe a bit, but I did not sacrifice any flavor. This is creamy, comforting, filling, homey and downright delicious. Once you are full you will be going back for more bites just because you want more taste. I hope you enjoy this as much as we have over the years. -- posted by LizP
