Hungarian Goulash anyone?
                Mrs. Kantarjiev's Goulash


9

9
   3 med or 2 lg onions      1 red (hot) pepper, dried
   3 lbs 1"cubed stew beef   2T flour
   2T butter or oil          2C water
   1T paprika                2T sour cream


    Peel and coarsely chop  onions.   In  heavy  pot,  heat
butter  or  oil (do not use margarine).  Add onions, sauteee
until glassy and golden.  Remove onions. Add stewing beef to
remaining  hot  oil.  Stir and turn until pieces are browned
all over. (Fat must be hot to seal  juices  in  the  cubes.)
This takes about 20 minutes.

    Add onions, cover and  cook  on  low  flame  for  10-15
minutes.   Add  paprika  and crushed pepper. Stir, don't let
the peper burn (or it will get bitter). Add flour,  continue
to  stir.  Flour should coat everything and get pink.  Add 1
cup water - then add enough of the other cup as necessary to
achieve  a  sauce  as thick as you like.  Cook over low heat
until meat is done.

    Just before serving, add sour cream. It should  NOT  be
allowed to boil.

    For the dried red pepper, I use a jalapeno. I will  buy
a  bushel  in early summer and string them up in the kitchen
to dry. Then I can just reach up and crumble one into  what-
ever I'm cooking (I like it hot).

Enjoy!
