Czech Republic Food from this region is typically rich, hearty comfort food, and the meal we had tonight certainly fit that bill! We had beef and bean goulash, with veges and bread to mop up the sauce. It was beautiful, and we all gobbled it up. In fact I am going to post the recipe because I know lots of people who would enjoy this. We followed it up with a baked apple pancake, served with icing sugar and jam which was also yum. We all have sore tummies now! Beef and bean goulash: Fry one chopped onion and some cubed stewing beef until brown. Season with salt and pepper. At this point I tipped it into a slow cooker, but you could cook it in the same pan. Pour over the bean juice from a tin of beans (we used cannelini) and some beef stock to cover. Simmer until tender. Add tin of beans, 1/2 tsp paprika and 2 tabs tomato puree. I thickened it with some flour. That's it!
