In my last thread making lentils I said I would cook this dish sometime in the week. Here we go.
This dish is often mistakenly called "goulash" in English speaking countries but goulash is really a soup made from the base dish that I will cook today, with vegetables and potatoes and a large quantity of water added to this simple stew base.
It is a base dish for many Hungarian recipes and beef can be substituted for any meat or even beans, and more decadent dishes like chicken paprikash are essentially based on it with heavy cream added during the cooking process.
I will serve it with a side of seasoned roasted potatoes, but it is typically served with buttered egg noodles.
