Hungarian Gulyas

Vicky treated our family to a WONDERFUL dish from home!  Vicky’s father is Hungarian and does a lot of cooking at home, so it’s no surprise that our amazing exchange daughter from Germany would choose to make authentic Hungarian Gulyas (Goulash) for us!!  She worked ultra hard and long on it, with Cassie joining in the chopping, chopping, and more chopping.  There were a few translation issues, including one spice we never figured out, but as the hours of simmering passed, Vicky would come up to the kitchen and say, “It smells like home, so it must be right.” 

 

Just when I thought it was ready to be served, Vicky said, “Next, I make the noodles.”   Since we don’t have a Nokedli Maker, she had to improvise, and did an excellent job. The huge pot of Gulyas was delicious and there was plenty for snacking on throughout the week.  Her Dad & Mum would’ve been proud!!
