Hungarian Goulash

"I was 32 when I started cooking;  up until then, I just ate."- Julia Child

Now for the answer to everyone's question that I'm sure you want to know?

What is Hungarian goulash?

I know...I know....

Deb and I have taken it for the team and tried this famous Hungarian dish.

A word....Delicious.

Even amongst Hungarians, everyone makes it a little different.  Originally made by the herdsman (gulyas means herdsmen in Hungarian) over an open fire in a cast iron pot in the fields.  It was something that filled them up but they didn't have to tend to.

Hungarian goulash is not a soup or stew but something in between. 

 A classical recipe would include prime beef, onions, carrots, parsnips, tomatoes, green peppers, potatoes, and spices including paprika.

Three variations that are popular would include beans or sauerkraut or french beans (green or string beans) added to the goulash.

A dollop of sour cream on top and we are ready to go!

Yummy.

Our view from the outside restaurant was pretty awesome too.
