04-08 Hungary? Try Goulash!

Hi people! Brini here and this week we have a delicious stew for you…Hungarian goulash! As stews go, it’s very simple – very easy. Here’s how: 

You’ll need: 

2 lbs stew beef cut into 1” cubes

3 Tbs. flour

2 Tbs. vegetable oil

¼ cup chopped onion

1 bay leaf

2 whole cloves

1 ½ tsp. salt

¼ tsp pepper

1 Tbs. paprika

1½ cups beef stock 

Begin by coating the beef with the flour. Heat the oil in a sauce pan or electric skillet over medium heat and add the beef. Cook until brown on all sides, then add the onion. Stir for about 5 minutes until the onion is tender, then add the remaining ingredients. Blend well while bringing to a boil. Cover and reduce heat to simmer. Let cook for 2 to 2½ hours or until fork tender.  

Serve over buttered noodles or boiled potatoes. 

This dish is just great for the last chilly days of winter. Perfect for warming up after a blustery afternoon outdoors! 

I’m so glad What’s Up Doc was such a success! It’s one of my favorite films, and it’s nice to know that so many of you enjoyed it too. 

The next film we’ll be discussing in our NetFlix series is completely different! We’ll be talking about Rear Window – Hitchcock’s delightfully ghoulish (not goulash) classic featuring Jimmy Stewart and a beguiling Grace Kelly. If you don’t have it you can always find it on NetFlix, and by joining through my site you help support this show! 

That’s all for this week! Let me know what you think about Rear Window…
