Goulash - Perfect for the depressing weather!

It's been raining all day and I wanted to cook something rich and nourishing, and I wanted to eat meat, so goulash seemed like a good choice. And it was! Inspired by: Food wishes goulash

Goulash, 2 persons

300 grams meat suitable for a stew
4 small onions
some salt, black pepper
1 teaspoon caraway seeds
1 tablespoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
a pinch of spicy paprika
1/2 teaspoon marjoram
a little dried thyme
2-3 cups of chicken broth
70 grams tomato paste
1-2 garlic cloves
a little salt, to taste
1 bay leaf
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

Cut the meat in 4cm by 4cm cubes. Mix it with some salt and pepper. Roughly chop the onion.


Brown the meat in a pan. Put half of the meat in at a time. 


Remove the meat to a stew pot. 

Fry the onion 3-4 minutes in the same pan as the meat. 


Remove to the stew pot. 

Crush the caraway seeds in a morter. Add caraway, paprika, spicy paprika, marjoram and thyme in the same pan as the onion. Toast for a few minutes. Add some chicken broth to deglaze the pan. Add the spice-broth mix to the stew pot. Add tomato paste, pressed garlic, bay leaf, sugar and balsamic vinegar and some more chichen broth to the stew pot. Bring to the boil and then simmer for 1 1/2-2 hours until the meat is tender. If the stew has to much liquid, just let it simmer without the lid. Serve with rice and a click of sour cream on top of the meat!
