Old School Green Bean Goulash

Old-School Green Bean Goulash, made with tender veal, potatoes, and green beans in a rich, flavorful tomato-based sauce, it’s the perfect balance of simplicity and tradition.

Ingredients:

• 1 onion, grated
• 2 carrots, chopped
• 10 oz (about 300g) veal, cut into small pieces
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 small celery root, chopped
• 3–4 potatoes, diced
• 1 cup (8 oz) tomato purée
• 1 bag (14 oz) frozen yellow green beans
• 2 bay leaves
• 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
• A few celery leaves (optional)
• Water as needed

Instructions:

1. Sauté the grated onion and chopped carrots in a pot over medium heat for a short time. Add the veal and cook together, stirring occasionally. If needed, add a little water to prevent sticking.
2. Add the seasonings: chopped celery root, garlic, salt, black pepper, paprika, parsley, celery leaves (optional), and bay leaves. Let it all simmer together, adding small amounts of water as needed.
3. Pour in the tomato purée and add the diced potatoes. Cook for a while, allowing the flavors to blend.
4. Add the thawed green beans and pour in enough water to cover all the ingredients. Simmer until the goulash thickens slightly and the potatoes and meat are tender and fully cooked.
5. Serve warm and enjoy!
