VEAL AND PEPPER GOULASH

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 180C
• Slice the veal into 2cm cubes. Cut the onion in half and then into thick slices. Remove the seeds and white bits from the peppers and cut into quite thick slices.
• In an oven proof casserole dish melt the butter on the hob and gently fry the onions for 2-3 minutes, add the veal and continue cooking for 3-5 minutes, stirring well to ensure that the meat is sealed all over.
• Add the peppers and paprika and continue stirring for a minute or 2 before adding the tomato juice, stock cube, bay leaf and seasoning. Bring to the boil and then take of the heat.
• Cover and put the casserole in the oven for 1-1 1/2 hours, stirring once or twice, until the meat is so tender that it is starting to fall apart
• Take the casserole out of the oven and put it back on the hob
• Stir in 1 pot of yoghurt and a handful of chopped parsely....season to taste and continue cooking for another 2 minutes or so.
• Serve over pasta... I usually use tagliatelli, but have had great success with shells as well as they hold the sauce beautifully. Here I have used bows....
• Top with a spoonful of yoghurt and a sprinkle of chopped parsley.
• As with chilli, this tastes even better the next day when the flavours have had time to develop. It freezes beautifully as well. I am inclined to use double the paprika and a big pinch of chili flakes on colder days!

VEAL, MUSHROOM, AND RED PEPPER GOULASH

Steps:

• Soak dried mushrooms in hot water until softened, about 30 minutes.
• Remove mushrooms from liquid, reserving it, and rinse mushrooms. Squeeze out excess moisture and coarsely chop. Pour reserved liquid through a paper towel-lined sieve into a bowl to remove grit. Return mushrooms to liquid.
• Pat veal dry and season with salt and pepper. Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a 4- to 5-quart heavy pot over moderate heat until hot but not smoking, then brown veal in batches. Transfer as browned to a bowl.
• Add 1 teaspoon oil and onion to pot and cook over moderately low heat, stirring frequently, until softened. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in flour and paprika and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Whisk in soaked mushrooms with liquid, scraping up any brown bits, and tomato paste, then bring to a simmer, whisking. Add veal with any juices.
• Cover and simmer over low heat until veal is tender, about 1 1/4 hours.
• While meat is simmering, lay peppers on their sides on racks of gas burners and turn flames on high. Roast peppers, turning with tongs, until skins are blistered and blackened in spots, 4 to 5 minutes. (Or cut sides from peppers, discarding seeds and stems, and broil, skin sides up, on rack of a broiler pan about 2 inches from heat.)
• Transfer peppers to a bowl, cover, and cool. Peel and seed peppers and cut into 1-inch pieces.
• Heat remaining teaspoon oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sauté mushrooms with salt and pepper to taste, stirring occasionally, until browned and tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir into stew with bell peppers and salt and pepper to taste and gently simmer goulash 10 minutes to blend flavors.
• Serve over noodles.

VEAL GOULASH WITH CREAM

Steps:

• 1 In a large Dutch oven or other deep, heavy pot with a tight-fitting lid, melt the butter over medium heat. Add just enough of the veal pieces to fit comfortably in a single layer. Cook until browned on all sides, about 15 minutes. Transfer the browned meat to a dish. Repeat with the remaining veal. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. 2 Add the onion and cook 5 minutes more. Sprinkle with the flour. Raise the heat to medium-high and cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes or until the flour is browned. 3 Stir in the broth, scraping and blending in the browned bits at the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Tie together the bay leaf, parsley, thyme, and lemon zest with kitchen string and add it to the liquid. Bring the liquid to a simmer and reduce the heat to low. Cover the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until the meat is tender when pierced with a fork, about 1 1/2 hours. 4 Remove the herb bouquet. Stir in the cream. Simmer uncovered until thickened, about 5 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve hot. From "1,000 Italian Recipes." Copyright 2004 by Michele Scicolone.
