I premised I write you a recipe for kettle goulash, but 1 picture wort a thousand worlds, so I just link it in for you.

I start with bacon cut up in small pieces, and start to fry it. (If you don't want lard, use oil instead.)
Soon I add the finely chopped up onions, and you can see the rest here.

The difference I make is, that I sear the meat in small batches, just like we sear the (good)steak.

Normally I use about 8-10 lb. of meat, (4 kilograms) Half of it beef, the rest is veal, lam, pork. I also add some tomatoes, and green peppers cut up to small pieces. First I cook the beef for about 1.5 hour, than I add the other meats.

*******Searing the meat first makes better taste for stews too.

*******You may add pinched dough, called csipetke in Hungarian.

1 egg.
Maybe little more than 2 tbsp flour.

Beat the egg, and mix with the flour, to make a stiff dough. Pinch small pieces from the dough (about the size of a hazelnut), but any shape, and about 5 min. before soup is done, or serving, drop them into the boiling soup.

Serve this soup when the meat and potatoes are tender, and the (csipetke) dough rise to the surface.

*******I have wind breaker, because sometimes it gets very windy.

Hi Victor,
If you have trouble locating Hungarian kettle and stands, have a look at South African Shops.
They sell Potjie Pots. Good quality all cast iron and these would do the same job.
These photo's certainly make me hungry.
Cheers,
Jan.

Hello, and thanks everyone.

There are some samples here.....

Before I retired I used to be a tool room machinist, a friend of mine had a machine shop, in my spare time I made many tri-pods, gave them away for my friends.

The one on these pictures is made from a solid piece of aluminum block, drilled/bored holes in it, and used pipes for legs.

Ps....If somebody is interested how the tri-pod head is made, I'll make some pictures tomorrow.

That looks fantastic, I can just imagine how good it tastes! I sent the link to my two Hungarian friends that I hunt with, their mother has made some meals for me in that fashion of cooking, incredible. She makes a stew with deer ribs, rabbits, and squirrels that is out of this world. RAY

Fantastic Gulyás,
Traditional food looks great, I was automatically looking for the bottles/glasses of pálinka somewhere within reach ....

I spoke to my friend Geza last night about a hunt we are planning and told him about what I'd posted. He said I should have specified that what was used were "tree" squirrels and "cottontail" rabbits. His mama could drop a tree branch into the pot and with that gravy it would taste yummy. RAY
