  3. Gulyásleves Recipe – Hungarian Goulash in Cast Iron Kettle

    October 8, 2014 by Varga László

    Gulyasleves Recipe - Hungarian Goulash in Cast Iron Kettle

    I had over a friend from France – Robin – very nice guy and very good blues musician. His plan is to go by hitchhiking all the way to Australia along singing and playing his guitar and harmonica.

    He has seen a lot of places and has been in a lot of places, having a lot of good stories to tell. He has been through Hungary but from his recollection didn’t eat tasty Hungarian food. So I had to correct his impression on Hungarian cuisine. I met with some friends with whom planed for ages to cook, gulyas soup in a cast iron kettle over open fire. This was a very good opportunity to to finally do it.

    We went to our friends garden unpacked the kettle, set the fire and cooked the delicious goulash or gulyas as it’s called in Hungarian. It was the beginning of the summer on a long Sunday warm afternoon prolonging into the cooler night. In the meantime we had fun, singing talking and drinking beers. As it turned out, it was the start of the open fire kettle cooking – since this time we had another five cookouts at the same venue which (apparently) finished for this year at the end of September. Some of the recipes I already shared, some are still to come.

    And here follows the recipe:

    Ingredients (8-10 servings):

    • 2 kg lean veal, preferably,  but you can also use beef    Gulyasleves - Hungarian Goulash 05
    • 1 kg onionsGulyasleves - Hungarian Goulash 01
    • 2 whole bulbs of garlicGulyasleves - Hungarian Goulash 03
    • 2 kg potatoes
    • 100 ml rendered pork lard or vegetable oil
    • 1/2 kg red/green bell pepperGulyasleves Recipe - Hungarian Goulash in Cast Iron Kettle
    • 4 tomatoes – about 1/2 kg
    • salt to taste
    • 1/2 tablespoon cumin
    • sweet and hot paprika to taste ( 1 used about 1 tablespoon sweet and 1 tablespoon hot)

     

    Preparation method:

    1.  Dice the veal into 2 cm cubes.Gulyasleves - Hungarian Goulash 06
    2. Chop roughly the onion and garlic.Gulyasleves - Hungarian Goulash 04Gulyasleves - Hungarian Goulash 02
    3. Dice the bell peppers.Gulyasleves Recipe - Hungarian Goulash in Cast Iron Kettle
    4. Dice the tomatoes into 1 cm cubes.a2014-09-06-22.24
    5. Clean and dice the potatoes into 2 cm cubes.Gulyasleves - Hungarian Goulash 14
    6. Heat the rendered lard/oil into the cast iron kettle.Gulyasleves - Hungarian Goulash 07
    7. Add to the kettle the chopped garlic and onion and fry, stirring them about 5 minutes until golden and fragrant.Gulyasleves - Hungarian Goulash 08
    8. Add the diced meat Gulyasleves - Hungarian Goulash 09and the hot and sweet paprikaGulyasleves - Hungarian Goulash 11
    9. Fry them stirring from time to time for about 15 minutes until the meat has taken a brownish darker color.Gulyasleves - Hungarian Goulash 12
    10. Add water to cover and the salt and cumin to taste. Don’t use black pepper, all the hotness of this dish is from the cumin and hot paprika.
    11. Bring to boil and cook over medium fire for about 2-3 hours until the meat is 2/3 done. It depends on the kind of meat you use and don’t’ forget to stir now and then. Because this step is a lengthy one, you can relax and sing a bit as we did with our recent friend Robin Madier.Gulyasleves - Hungarian Goulash 13
    12. When the meat is about 2/3 done add the cubed potatoes, replenish with some more water to cover and cook for another circa 20 minutes.Gulyasleves - Hungarian Goulash 15
    13. When the potatoes are almost done add the diced bell peppers and tomatoes, add if needed some more salt and sweet/hot paprika to taste.Gulyasleves - Hungarian Goulash 18
    14. Cook for another 10-15 minutes, until the tomatoes and peppers mostly melted in the pot of soup.
    15. Serve the soup while hot.Gulyasleves - Hungarian Goulash 19
