Hi M8. as you requested .

try this , i got this recipe from my mother who is a very good cook.

GOULASH + DUMPLINGS

you need

2 medium onions sliced
1 and 1/2 oz of butter
1 and 1/4 lb of diced braising steak or any other steak ( dice it yourself if you cant get it diced )
2 tbsp of plain flour
1 tsp salt , 1/4 tsp black ground pepper.
1tbsp of Paprika ( get it from any supermarket)
1 400g tin of chopped tomatoes
1/3 pint of chicken stock
1 tbsp tomato puree
1 bay leaf
1 Large Pinch of Nutmeg


1. fry the onions in the 1/2 oz butter until soft but not brown, once done put into a casserole dish.

2. mix the salt, pepper, paprika, flour in a bowl, then coat the diced steak all over with it. Melt the other 1 oz of butter in the frying pan, then fry the diced steak until brown on all sides. It looks a bit mushy at this point but its ok.

3. Stir in the tomatoes, chicken stock, Tomato puree, bay leaf, and nutmeg.
Bring to the boil.
Then pour over the previously fried onions in the casserole dish and stir well.
Heat oven to 180 degrees Centigrade (350 farenheit)(gas mark 4).
put the casserole dish in oven for 1 hour 15 mins.

for the dumplings you need

100g/4oz of wholemeal self raising flour
50g/2oz of shredded suet
60-75ml (4-5 tbsp) of fresh milk


or you could use the farmhouse brand already mixed ( from any shop )

mix the wholemeal flour and the suet and season with a little salt and pepper.
Add the milk and make a soft dough.

divide into 8 dumplings, put on top of the goulash , cover, and put back into the oven for another 20-30 mins until well risen.

Serve this dish with a little soured cream poured on top
