Hungarian Goulash

2 pounds beef chuck, cut in 1-inch cubes

2 tbls. canola oil (lard or bacon fat traditionally used)

3 large onions, finely chopped

2 large cloves of garlic, chopped

3 tablespoons sweet Hungarian paprika

2 tablespoons flour

8 cups water

2 tablespoons tomato paste

1 teaspoon caraway seed (use a little less at first (1/2 tsp.

1 cup cubed potatoes

¾ cup sliced carrots

salt and pepper

grated egg drop noodles (tarhonya*) or nokedli(spatzle), boiled in water until tender.

Brown meat well in large heavy saucepan. Add onions and garlic and cook until limp.

Sprinkle paprika, pepper and flour over meat and onions. Cook for 2 minutes on low heat,

stirring to keep mixture from sticking. Add water, tomato paste

and caraway seeds. Simmer, covered, over low heat for 1½

hours or until meat is tender. Add carrots, simmer for about 10

minutes. Add potatoes, simmer until carrots and potatoes are done. Add more water, if necessary.

Serve in a soup tureen with noodles or put noodles in individual bowls and add soup. (Do not put noodles in pot with soup and store overnight. The noodles will absorb most of the broth.)

*Tarhonya can be purchased at most European Deli stores or use a small noodle about the size of alphabets.

Doubles and triples easily.
