This section started with Kettle Goulash (Hungarian) recipe. The thing makes this vegetable dish special is the sour cream. I usually sprinkle chopped parsley on it to get the best aroma of the cream.
Kettle Goulash
4 tb Bacon fat
5 ea Lg onions; coarsly chopped
2 ea Lg green peppers; chopped
3 ea Garlic clove; minced
1 1/2 tb Hungarian Paprika (If any. Ordinary one should be fine)
3 lb Stewing beef; in 1" cubes
1 tsp Pepper; to taste
1 tsp Salt; to taste
6 oz Tomato paste
1 tsp Sour cream; at room temp
Preheat oven to 325f. Heat fat in a deep heavy pot. Cook the onions, peppers, and garlic until the onions are limp and transparent.
Add paprika has lost its raw taste. Add beef and remaining ingredients except sour cream. Stir well to combine.
Simmer in preheated oven for 1 1/2 to 2 hours or until the meat is tender. Adjust oven temperature during cooking time so contents of pot remain at a simmer.
Serve in shallow soup bowls with a tablespoon of sour cream at top each serving.

I prefer not to cook the cucumber too done to keep its crunchy, but it’s more likely only about the taste.

Do you know how is the best way to store potatoes? It’s amazing that you can keep it for three months when you do the right way.
