Butternut Goulash Recipes

BUTTERNUT GOULASH

Steps:

• In a Dutch oven, heat butter over medium-high heat. Add beef, red pepper and onion; cook, crumbling beef, until meat is no longer pink and vegetables are tender, 6-8 minutes; drain., Add the next eight ingredients. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to low. Simmer, covered, about 20 minutes; add zucchini. Continue simmering until vegetables are tender, another 20-25 minutes. Just before serving, sprinkle with cheese if desired.

CARAMELIZED BUTTERNUT SQUASH

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Cut off and discard the ends of each butternut squash. Peel the squash, cut them in half lengthwise, and remove the seeds. Cut the squash into 1 1/4 to 1 1/2-inch cubes and place them on a baking sheet. Add the melted butter, brown sugar, salt, and pepper. With clean hands, toss all the ingredients together and spread in a single layer on the baking sheet. Roast for 45 to 55 minutes, until the squash is tender and the glaze begins to caramelize. While roasting, turn the squash a few times with a spatula, to be sure it browns evenly. Taste for seasonings and serve hot.

GOULASH

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring frequently, until wilted, about 10 minutes. Stir in the paprika and caraway seeds and cook 1 minute more. In a bowl, toss the beef with the flour to coat well. Add the beef to the onion mixture. Cook, stirring, for 2 minutes.
• Add 1/2 cup of the broth, stirring and scraping the bottom of the pot. Gradually stir in the remaining broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a slow simmer. Cover and cook until the beef is tender, about 1 1/2 hours. Stir in the lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste. Serve over wide egg noodles.

PORK & SQUASH GOULASH COBBLER

Steps:

• Heat the oil in an ovenproof non-stick pan, then stir-fry the pork for 5-7 mins until it starts to brown. Tip in the celery, squash, pepper and mushrooms with their stalks, then cook for a few minutes more.
• Stir in the caraway and paprika, then pour in 350ml boiling water, the bouillon, tomato purée and garlic. Cover the pan and simmer for 20 mins until the veg is tender, then remove the lid and simmer for another 5 mins to reduce a little.
• Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. For the cobbler topping, put the flour in a bowl and stir in the baking powder. Combine the oil and yogurt, then stir that into the flour. Bring the mix together into a dough using a cutlery knife. Knead very lightly on a clean work surface, then form into a sausage shape about the width of a large cucumber. Slice evenly into six rounds and arrange on top of the goulash. Brush with a little milk to glaze, if you like, and scatter over a pinch of caraway seeds. Bake for 15-20 mins until golden and cooked - you can tell by lifting one to see if the mixture has set beneath. Serve with the cooked cabbage on the side, if you like.
