Hungarian Goulash

[ethandron]

Have you made the above and if so what did you serve it with....noodles, tagliatelle, potatoes of some description, rice, bread????? Thanks.

I used to make goulash a lot when I had a family at home to feed .
I used to serve it with any of what you've mentioned,dumplings or Spatzle .

[ethandron]

I didn't think of dumplings, and I'd not heard of spatzle which look very nice for a change.
I can't decide which to do, was hoping someone would say its better with rice..or noodles..or whatever. Which did your family prefer shaney?

I love it with noodles - the green ones sometimes because they look nice.!

[mccfluff]

i like it with mash or crusty bread

[shaneystar2]

My lot eat anything but preferably dumplings or the spätzle ,which btw you can get at Lidl .
My husband is German and loves potato dumplings with something like that.

Lovely creamy mash.

[ummmm]

I'd also go with mash.

[ethandron]

If we had a lidl near by I'd be tempted to nip out for some.
Mmm, mash, I love mash but would probably end up eating the whole pan full.
I have Chinese type noodles, the sharwoods egg ones which take no time to do, I wonder if they work with it?
I'm not usually this indecisive, and himself isn't being much help either, he says he'll have anything!
Thanks for all your ideas :)

Ha, the mash answers weren't there when I last looked :) Think you just swung it.

The recipe I used, had small chunks of potatoes that I put in raw, then pressure cooked it.
I felt it didn't need anymore bulk than that. Just served it with green veggies.

[ethandron]

The recipe I've used is delia smith. It just has meat,peppers and onions chrissa. The only other time I made it was years and years ago and I can't remember what I did with it.
We're actually going to have tagliatelle, as himself, when told we were going to have mash, pulled a face and decided he wouldn't have 'anything' after all, especially if it was mash! Men!!

[ethandron]

Well, it was delicious and highly recommended. I tweaked delias recipe as I always do, I only use recipes as a guide really. Added twice as much paprika, twice as many onions and extra peppers. Also a knorr beef stock jelly thing and some tomato purée. We both smacked our lips over it and there's enough left over for tomorrow, probably have it with a jacket spud.
Am definitely going to do it again, and get some spatzle to have with it.
Thanks for all your suggestions.
