I need a great Goulash recipe!?

Question

I am looking for a goulash recipe that does NOT include tomato chunks. My son and I do not like cooked tomatoes! Thanks in advance!!

Answer 1

Depends, are you looking for a Hungarian Goulash or an American Goulash recipe. Hungarian Goulash many times has a beef broth base and uses something like stew meat, whereas American Goulash usually has a tomato broth (not chunky) and ground beef.

Okay, so for American Goulash, this was one of the recipes I found that's a lot like what I've done:

1 lb. ground beef

1 lg. chopped onion

Chopped green pepper

1 c. uncooked noodles

1 lg. can tomato sauce

Pepper

Brown beef, onions and green pepper. Drain. Add sauce and pepper. Cook noodles, add sauce and serve.

That one is a lot like what my grandmother used to do, though she used Campbell's tomato soup. I also tend to put in some chopped celery as well as other spices like celery salt. Hope that this helps.

Great Goulash: Ground Turkey Paprikash and Macaroni  



1/2 pound elbow macaroni

Salt

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, 1 turn of the pan

1 tablespoon butter

1 package, 1 1/3 pounds average weight, ground lean white turkey

2 to 3 cloves garlic, chopped

1 medium onion, chopped

1 red bell pepper, seeded and chopped

2 tablespoons sweet paprika

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon dried marjoram

Black pepper

1 cup chicken stock, available in small 8 ounce paper containers on soup aisle of market

1 cup sour cream

2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley

2 tablespoons chopped dill

Bring a pot of water to boil for pasta. When it comes to a boil, add pasta and salt to season the cooking water. Cook pasta 6 minutes to al dente.

While water comes to a boil and pasta cooks, heat a deep skillet over medium high heat. Add extra-virgin olive oil then butter then ground meat. Break up meat and crumble, 2 to 3 minutes. Add garlic, onions, red bell peppers and seasonings to the turkey. Cook 5 or 6 minutes then add chicken stock and sour cream to the pan. Bring to a bubble and reduce heat to low. Add cooked pasta and stir. Let pasta absorb some sauce, a minute or so. Adjust seasonings and serve. Garnish the prepared dish with chopped parsley.
