Tender veal with onions and tomatoes in a paprika sour cream sauce, served over tangy sauerkraut – Szegedine Goulasch, a delicious Austrian dish.
Ingredients:
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter or rendered beef fat
  • 2 pounds veal, cut into 1 1/2-inch cubes
  • 1 1/2 cups onions, sliced root to tip, 1/4-inch thick slices
  • 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup canned crushed tomatoes, or chopped fresh ripe tomatoes
  • 1 cup full-fat sour cream
  • 2 teaspoons paprika
  • 2 teaspoons caraway seeds, chopped or crushed in a mortar with pestle
  • 2 28-30 ounce jars sauerkraut (we recommend Bubbies, in the refrigerated section of the grocery store)
  • 3 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions:
  • Brown cubed veal in butter on medium high heat until lightly golden in batches.
  • Caramelize the onions in the pan with the veal for 5 minutes. Introduce the garlic and cook for an additional minute.
  • Season with a teaspoon of salt and half a teaspoon of black pepper, then add the tomatoes. Pour in enough water to barely cover the meat, approximately 2 cups, adjusting for the size and shape of your pan.
  • Simmer uncovered for about 30 minutes until meat is almost cooked through.
  • Remove the veal using a slotted spoon and place it in a bowl. Increase the heat to high and boil the liquid until it is reduced by half. Return the veal to the pan over medium heat.
  • Stir in the sour cream, paprika, and crushed caraway seeds, then let it simmer uncovered for 20 more minutes.
  • In a medium pot, warm the sauerkraut over medium heat. Strain before serving and place in a dish topped with goulash. Recipe from Luchow's German Cookbook by Jan Mitchell, 1952.
