Where have I been?

The last few days I’ve been babysitting my granddaughter while her parents attended a wedding on the West Coast. I thought I was well organized by preparing a meal in a crock pot but despite best laid plans, I didn’t have the two onions I needed for Hungarian Goulash.
​
This is a recipe that I believe I found out in a crock pot cookbook my sister has. I already have Hungarian paprika in my pantry from another recipe and I was looking for another recipe in which to use this spice. This hearty stew type dish needs a six ounce can of tomato paste, Hungarian paprika, red and green pepper, carrots, two onions, beef broth, lemon peel, caraway seeds and 1-1/2 pounds of beef stew meat.


Before visiting some friends, my granddaughter and I made a quick trip to Whole Foods for the onions.  Another adjustment to this recipe was to utilize my Fagor pressure cooker. I sautéed the beef in the pressure cooker before adding the rest of the ingredients. Instead of cooking in the crock pot for 3-1/2 to 4-1/2 hours at high, once the pressure cooker reached full pressure, I was able to cook the goulash in just 15 minutes.
​

You can serve the goulash over cooked noodles, however, I served it alone. Had I made a short shopping list, I would have added a nice loaf of rye bread with caraway seeds to soak up the rich beef and tomato sauce.  The goulash was a delicious, hearty meal that is wonderful on those cool days. The beef with the vegetables makes it a complete meal.
This is a versatile dish that can be prepared in a slower cooker for those cooks who like to prepare meals early in the day and leave it, a pressure cooker for those short on time and InstaPots, which is a programmable multi-purpose cooker.
