Czech Goulash Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oil in a heavy skillet. Add onion and cook over low heat until lightly yellowed.
• Add paprika and blend well. Add meat, green pepper, salt, and water.
• Cover and simmer until meat is tender, about 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
• Add more water if desired, although mixture should not be overly soupy when finished cooking.
• Serve over hot boiled potatoes or topped with dumplings. (I use Recipe#171228).

Steps:

• Heat oil in large dutch oven (large stew pot) on high heat.
• Combine beef and pork and begin to brown in oil on all sides.
• When meat is browned on all sides add onion; add enough water to cover the meat and onions mixture.
• Tie pickling spices in a cheesecloth or, us a metal tea ball only half full.
• Spices will expand while cooking.
• Drop cheesecloth or teaball into meat mixture.
• Simmer mixture for 45 minutes.
• Add ingredients from cans, diced tomatoes, tomato soup, and catsup; stir mixture well.
• Finally add all the spices as measured, the vinegar and the WHISKEY!
• Turn fire or heat to a low setting and simmer for 1 hour with lid on the pot.
• Check and stir frequently to prevent the bottom from scorching or burning.
