I'm Making Goulash

[Dinner]

Most paprika is weak and tasteless. You want the good stuff and it should be fresh or atleast not be years old. Good paprika has a different spice then chili but it still has some serious kick.

What Oerdin said. Quality paprika is fearsome stuff.

[Cort Haus]

Goulash shouldn't be chilli-raging hot in my view. I like it mildly spiced. Paprika is a tasty spice, rather than a burning one.

I have some amish style egg noodles (thin compare to thick) to serve with the goulash.. should I just make the spatzel?

noodles?? use dumplings you heathen

It tastes lovely with duck in it - I'll send you some

I made it, and it was good. Stew Beef, peas, carrots, onion over them noodles. It was really good. I can't make it spicy or wife get acid reflux. I had some Hungarian paprika my aunt sent me from a vacation over there a few months ago. I used the mild and it was great. Really rather easy, just needs time to simmer.

There are two types of Paprika, sweet and hot. 'Normal' stuff you get ground up is sweet.

I have a string of hot paprikas at home if you want some Japher? You'll have to grind them yourself. I brought them back from budapest with me.

[Cort Haus]

How long did you stew the beef for? It has to melt-in-your-mouth.

[Japher]

I browned and it an then stewed it for 3 hours

[Cort Haus]

This thread is inspring me to want to have a go at this.

[MikeH]

That recipe looks nice and easy. I'd stick dumplings in it or have it with potatoes rather than have noodles though. Never had goulash with noodles or even heard of that before this thread.

[MikeH]

In Hungary they mostly use Goulash to refer to the soup version (unless it's quite a touristy place), the stew version is normally called something like beef stew (but in Hungarian).

But I ate a hell of a lot of both versions, and they were all very good.
