P枚rk枚lt (meat stew, closest to what Americans call goulash)


Chop up an onion, saute it in your choice of fat. Take it off the heat and put in a good tablespoon of paprika, stir, then add the cubed meat (beef or pork, generally, but you can get fancy and use veal) and stir again. Return to the heat and cook over medium-low, adding minimal amounts of water (or wine) only if needed to prevent scorching, until the meat is tender, stirring occasionally. At some point, season to taste with salt (not pepper - don't combine pepper and paprika). Serve with spaetzle or egg noodles and a simple cucumber salad.


[Variation: to make borsostok谩ny, don't add the paprika, slice the meat into strips instead of cubes, definitely use wine as the cooking liquid, and season generously with black pepper.]





Paprik谩s krumpli (paprika potatoes)


Chop up an onion, saute in your choice of fat. Take it off the heat and add several heaping tablespoons of paprika and a half teaspoon of caraway seed. Stir, then add the sliced potatoes (we usually slice them in rounds), salt to taste, and return to the heat. Stir and add just barely enough water to cover the potatoes. Cook over medium heat until the potatoes are almost done, then add sliced sausage (Hungarian preferably, Gyulai is a good choice, but a polska kielbasa can work too) and continue cooking until the potatoes are done. Serve with sour cream.





Guly谩sleves (goulash-soup, the real thing, accept no substitutes)


Chop up an onion, saute it in your choice of fat. (Are you detecting a pattern yet?) Take it off the heat and add a couple of heaping tablespoons of paprika, a teaspoon of caraway seed (optional), then add the cubed beef (never pork!) and a generous quantity of water. Remember, you're making soup, not stew. Return to the heat. Simmer until the meat is about half done. Add cubed root veggies (carrots, parsnips, parsley root if you can find it) and a couple stalks of celery. Simmer until the veggies are about half cooked, then add cubed potatoes and continue cooking until everything is done. Season to taste with salt (again, don't mix pepper and paprika). Optional: you can add csipetke (literally, ';little pinches';) for the last 5-10 minutes of cooking. To make csipetke, combine one egg with a pinch of salt and enough flour to make a very hard dough, then pinch off little pieces and roll between your fingers to make little ovals. Serve the soup with a good crusty bread.





Rakottkrumpli (layered potatoes)


Cook potatoes in their skins and let cool. Meanwhile, hard-boil some eggs and slice up some sausage. (Some people use hot dogs and/or leftover ham.) Peel the potatoes and slice into rounds. Slice the hard-boiled eggs, too. Have ready some sour cream and softened butter. Butter a rectangular baking dish and put down a layer of potatoes, then a layer of eggs and meat(s), dot with butter as desired, then spread with sour cream (thinned with milk if needed). Repeat with another layer of potatoes and the rest of the proteins. End with a layer of potatoes and the rest of the sour cream. Dot the top with butter and bake in a medium oven until everything is nice and bubbly and the top is lightly browned. Serve with more sour cream if desired.

Cook onion and bell pepper until soft. Add browned beef. Add wine, salt, pepper, and paprika (about 1/4 teaspoon, or to your taste).





Continue to taste and adjust seasonings throughout the cooking process, (especially paprika). Cover and cook on low or medium, adding water as needed. Stir in 1 beef bouillon cube per cup of water added (more or less, to your taste).





Best if beef is cooked all day, at least 4 hours. When beef is ready, cook egg noodles according to package directions. Remove meat and set aside.





Thicken gravy with flour. Add beef to gravy and serve over egg noodles.
