Background
This lamb and bean paprika stew is based on the traditional Hungarian mutton goulash recipe. I added beans and spinach to it so it’s more filling and healthy, perfect for a weekend family meal. In We normally serve it with bread or mashed potatoes (the traditional side dish is mini dumplings and gherkins on the side).
Ingredients
- 450g diced lamb shoulder
- 1 onion
- 1 garlic clove
- 2 Tbsp Hungarian paprika
- 1 red chilli pepper(optional)
- 1 green pepper
- 1 Tbsp tomato purée
- 1 medium tomato, chopped
- 1 small glass of red wine (optional)
- about 500 ml lamb or chicken stock
- 1 bay leaf
- 2 medium carrots
- 1 tin cannellini or borlotti beans
- 150g spinach
Instructions
- Finely chop the onion and garlic.
- In a large saucepan heat one tbsp of vegetable oil and brown the diced lamb for a couple of minutes, then move them to a plate.
- Add more oil to the pan and gently fry the onion and garlic until soft. Put the lamb back, add the spices and tomato purée.
- Add the carrots(halved), pepper, chilli and chopped tomatoes. Pour in the stock and the wine, season with salt and pepper, add the bay leaf and bring to the boil.
- Turn down the heat and gently simmer for about an hour until the lamb is tender, the veggies are soft and the sauce is thick and silky. Discard the pepper and bay leaf. Add the drained beans and warm through. Stir through the spinach, put the lid on, turn off the heat and rest for 5 minutes until the spinach has wilted.
- Serve warm.
