What are you peeps doing this evening....

[Bikini Mod]

It is GULYAS - pronounced "goo-lyahsh" the a is ahhhhhhh like as in the doc telling you to open wide.

Gulyas in Magyar means cowboy - yes, we have cowboys too.... or cattlemen. It is beef soup made by cattlemen. LOL

Generally you put either potatoes or "csipetke" (little dough balls) literally meaning "to pinch". I like the csipetke even though you have to stand there for an hour throwing this shit into the pot one at a time. LOL I tried making them with whole wheat flour instead of standard white flour. It DID alter the taste, was granier but for me, it would be acceptable. If my girls were here, I would bite the bullet and make it traditionally. Very simple soup. You only need beef, water, marrow bones, carrots, onions, salt, pepper, (hot pepper if you like) and lots and lots of magyar paprika. But when it is made properly - OMG IT IS FREAKING GOOD!!!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goulash

Goulash is a spicy dish, originally from Hungary, usually made of beef, onions, red peppers, and paprika powder. Its name comes from Hungarian gulyás (pronounced goo-yash), the word for a cattle stockman or herdsman.

Goulash is traditionally prepared as a soup. Meat is cut into chunks, seasoned with salt, pepper and paprika, and then browned in a pot with oil. Shank, shin or shoulder is used — goulash derives its thickness from tough, well-exercised muscles rich in collagen, which is converted to gelatin during the cooking process. Sliced onions, hot red peppers and garlic are added. After the meat is browned, water or stock is added and left to simmer. Some finely diced potatoes may be added to provide starch as they cook, making the stew thicker and smoother. Other herbs and spices may also be added, especially bay leaf, thyme and ground caraway seeds. A small amount of white wine or a very little wine vinegar can also be added near the end of cooking to round the taste.

Some cooking books suggest using flour or cornstarch to thicken the stew, but this produces a starchy texture and a blander taste. Others suggest using generous amounts of tomatoes for colour and taste. A small amount of tomatoes in the stock that is used, or a drop of tomato puree, may improve the taste and texture, but goulash is a paprika-based dish and the taste of tomatoes should not be discernible. Many Hungarian chefs consider tomatoes to be absolutely forbidden in goulash, and they also feel that if they cook a stew instead of a soup, it should only be thickened by finely chopped potatoes, which must be simmered along with the meat.

Karma please....

You must spread some Karma around before giving it to javaguru again.

LOL I didn't see that.... silly me.

Well at least I knew what I was talking about.

I forgot about the tomato... and as far as seasonings, that varies from region to region. I have NEVER heard of thickening it with flour.... NEVER.

Seriously, though with the csipetke - z it is REALLY GREAT. When we were little we would pick them out and save them to eat them last. It would drive my mother NUTS. We got smacked on more than one occasion for it. Funny thing? My kids would do THE SAME THING! I guess it was genetic, eh? I never disciplined them though for it... It actually made me laugh and smile. They thought it was pretty funny that we both did the same things as kids and so did I.

I forgot how much I enjoy cooking... I will try to cook for My Old Grump more often. His praise was generous, but totally unwarranted... My gulyas this time round was only "ok".
