frozen goulash
It’s summertime, it’s fine weather, it’s hot - sometimes you aren’t in the mood for cooking, but you’d like to have some substantial dinner. Well, there’s always the BBQ option... Maybe you prefer to walk to the freezer, grab some prepared meat dish, heat it up, pimp it w/ some fresh vegetables and/or crunchy bread: just start w/ some frozen basic goulash.
ingredients:
- 750 g chunky beef aka beef for goulash
- 50 g lard
- 400 g onions
- 1 tsp ground caraway
- 1 tsp ground sweet paprika
- 1 tsp dried marjoram
- 1 tsp ground black pepper
- 400 ml beef stock
- 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- salt
equipment:
- slow cooker
how to:
- Chop the onions roughly & fry them for about 10 min in half of the lard until soft.
- Put the onions in the slow cooker.
- Fry the chunky beef in the rest of the lard for about 10 min until brown.
- Put the beef in the slow cooker.
- Add caraway, sweet paprika, marjoram & pepper as well as salt.
- Add balsamic vinegar.
- Add beef stock.
- Start the slow cooker & let it work at high temperature for about 4 h.
Notes
Onions: you may use any onions available.
Balsamic vinegar: you may also use any vinegar.
Freezing: for convenience distribute the results of the slow cooker session into 3 containers (about 400 ml) for freezing.
If you like to prepare more basic goulash just double the amounts (or so...): if your slow cooker is big enough... the cooking times won’t change!
