ondrej's czech goulash

Roast 2 onions cut in big cubes until browned.

Sprinkle with paprika seasoning until all covered, roast for less than a minute.

Add one small can of tomato paste and roast another 30 seconds.

Fill up with water, depending on how much you are making

Add sliced Vegetables:

Definitely Mushrooms (King Oyster are great)

Zucchini

Carrots

Potatoes

Add a teaspoon of caraway

Cok until the potatoes are soft!

Thicken up in the end with either cornstarch mixed with cold water or flour also mixed with water to avoid clumping.

At the end flavor with sliced fresh garlic, a good handful of marjoram, salt and pepper and if desired mushroom powder and a touch of nutritional yeast.

It should be a nice thick stew that doesn't need a bowl. Letting the goulash cool once and warm it up before serving will guarantee best results in consistency.

Serve with simple boiled potatoes, choice of rice or pasta, or bread dumplings as well as fresh slices of onion rings.
