    we lovegoulashes here since there is a great influence of austrian hungarian food in the northern part of the countrz, onlz I use the sam amount of onion as meat, spaetzles are devine!

    Quite close to goulash! :DThe preparation of the real thing starts with the sauté of chopped onion, as always in Hungarian cuisine. Then comes the paprika and only then the beef. Thus the sauce of the stew will be thicker.No garlic needed, tomato or red wine optional.Otherwise, it's a perfect recepy.Congrats!Bon apetit! Jó étvágyat!

  8. Thank you all. Yes, it was a little too warm for Goulash, but the heat didn't stop us from cleaning our plates. There was only a little meat and red cabbage leftover and I sent that home with the kids.Anonymous, thank you for sharing your version of Goulash. I'm sure it is delicious. There are many different versions, some more authentic than others. Ann

  9. That looks delicious, Ann! The colors are amazing!

    WE eat goulash and its relatives all the time, ignoring the thermostat. Your version looks delicious and inviting. But, I'll have to pick my favorite, the spaetzle. I wish I could crawl through the screen and steel the whole pile!My Serbian mother makes the dish the way Anonymous described it. But she will not hear me here, and I can confess I brown the meat dredged in flour first, and then add the onions, like you did. Greetings from California.

  12. ive always heard of goulash and never really knew what it was, so thx for sharing 🙂
