Veal Mushroom And Red Pepper Goulash Recipes

VEAL OR LAMB PAPRIKASH

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Bring the meat to room temperature. Pat the meat dry with paper towels, then sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper and dredge in flour. Heat a drizzle of EVOO in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the meat in batches and cook until deep brown all over. Transfer to a plate.
• Add another drizzle of EVOO to the pot and reduce the heat to medium. Add the butter and let it melt into the oil. Add the onions and cook until very tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Add 3 tablespoons paprika, the cumin, garlic, bay leaves, bell peppers and tomatoes, and stir to combine and heat through, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the stock and wine then return the meat to the pot. Cover with a lid, transfer the pot to the oven and cook until the meat is tender, about 2 hours.
• Remove the meat to a platter and cover with foil. Using an immersion blender, puree the sauce in the pot. Stir in the creme fraiche and cook until the sauce is reduced, 20 to 30 minutes. Return the meat to the pot. (If you are not serving immediately, cool the stew and then refrigerate until ready to use. Reheat in a moderate oven or over a medium flame.) Just before serving, stir in the remaining 1 teaspoon paprika to brighten the flavor.
• For garnish, fry the caperberries in a little EVOO until crisp. Top the stew with a few dollops of creme fraiche and the fried caperberries. (The green, red and white colors signify the Hungarian flag.)
• Any leftover stew is great for lunch or with poached eggs.

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 WITH MUSHROOMS AND PEPPERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in heavy large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Dredge veal in flour, shaking off excess. Add veal to skillet and cook until brown, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Transfer veal to plate using slotted spoon. Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in same skillet. Add mushrooms, bell pepper, oregano, allspice and crushed red pepper to skillet. Sauté until mushrooms are just beginning to brown, about 3 minutes. Stir in Marsala and garlic and boil until skillet is almost dry, about 4 minutes. Add veal and any juices accumulated on plate to skillet. Mix in chicken broth and bring to boil. Cover and bake in oven until veal is very tender, about 1 hour. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
• Transfer stew to stove and boil until liquid thickens to sauce to consistency, about 12 minutes. Serve with rice.

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!
