Introduction

One of my mother's family dishes. Makes a great single dish meal. It's a little spicy and different, but overall pretty healthy even though it has a stick-to-your-ribs feeling. 8 generous servings (about 2.5 cups). One of my mother's family dishes.

Ingredients

    4 medium baking potatoes, with skin, cut into quarters or smaller pieces
    ==============
    2 lb pork loin or other lean cut, all fat trimmed
    1/4 cup canola oil
    1 cup flour
    1 tsp black pepper
    1/2 tsp salt
    ==================
    2 large onions, sliced
    1 green bell pepper, chopped
    3 large carrots, (7-1/4"-8-1/2"), sliced
    10 baby portabella mushrooms, sliced
    28 oz. Del Monte Petite Diced Tomatoes, No Salt Added
    1 tsp black pepper
    1/4 tsp salt
    2 Tbsp paprika
    1/4 tsp hot hungarian paprika
    ===============
    1 1/2 cup water
    1 cup Hunt's Tomato Sauce, no salt added
    ===============
    1/2 cup red wine

Directions

1---Thinly slice onions, carrots, and mushrooms. Chop up green bell pepper. Drain and rinse tomatoes (or chop up fresh tomatoes finely). Rinse, cut up potatoes into large bite-sized pieces, and begin boiling them in a small pot.
2---Cut up pork into large bite-sized pieces. Begin heating large lidded fry pan with oil on medium heat.
3---Mix together flour with the 1 tsp black pepper and 1/2 tsp salt.
4---Dredge meat in flour mixture. Save the extra flour mixture for later.
5---Place dredged meat directly in pan. Let meat cook for about 3 minutes or until flour on meat begins to turn golden brown. Turn over pieces and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
6---Remove meat from pan. Sprinkle with about 1 Tbsp paprika.
7---Put all vegetables into pan, including potatoes (if they are done). Stir in 1 tsp black pepper, 1/4 tsp salt, 1 Tbsp paprika, and 1/4 tsp hungarian paprika. Cover and let cook for about 10 minutes on medium heat, stirring every few minutes.
8---Add the water and tomato sauce. Cover and continue cooking for 15 minutes or until the carrots are slightly tender, stirring every few minutes.
9---Stir in the rest of the flour, saved earlier (add potatoes if not added earlier). Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring constantly.
10---Add red wine to food. Add meat, if desired or serve on top of veggies/sauce (assuming it was sliced thin enough to be fully cooked). Cook another couple of minutes. Serve.

    There are variations to Hungarian Goulash. My family is also from Hungary and our Goulash is a soup/stew. My question though....is your family from Kapuvar? We have family there....just wondering... - 1/27/11

    Only my great-grandmother was 100% Hungarian, but it's my heritage. All family there either immigrated to the US or were executed during the 1919 revolution... The recipe is my great-grandmother's, though modified for availability (ex. sub portabella mushrooms for chantrelles, etc).
