Here is a vegetarian version of one my favorite dishes - Hungarian Goulash! I would definitely add chickpeas or lentils as a needed protein in this dish... Not sure where I found it from...
If one is vegan, omit the sour cream (yogurt). Makes 2 generous portions...
Vegetarian Hungarian Goulash
Ingredients:
1 tbsp Sunflower oil
1 large white/yellow onion, chopped
1 carrot, diced
1 large potato, diced
1 stalk of celery, diced
1 green pepper, cut into rounds (the long ones, also known as banana peppers)
1 tsp caraway seeds, crushed lightly
few black peppercorns, crushed lightly
1 bay leaf
3 tbsp Sweet Paprika (preferably the Hungarian variety)
Salt, to taste
1 tsp sour cream (or yogurt), optional
Method:
1. Heat the oil in a heavy bottom pot.
Add the onions and sauté on medium heat until starts getting brown.
2. Once the onions are browned, take them off the heat and add the paprika. This is important because we do not want the paprika to burn.
3. Add the vegetables and the spices and salt to taste. Mix well and put it back on the hob.
4. Cover with water, put the lid on and simmer on low heat.
5. Keep checking on the Goulash and stirring from time to time.
6. Once the vegetables are well cooked, adjust the consistency by adding the water as required.
7. Garnish with a dollop of sour cream and serve with some bread (preferably sourdough) to dunk into the Goulash.
