Summer Veggie Goulash
As Fresh veggies come into season, this recipe always comes to mind. It is a variation of the poor
food of my childhood, and with the addition of Fresh seasonal food it feels like summer to me.
You can also add other canned food from the cupboard. Get creative with it!
Recipes from The Rising Wind, submitted by Tami Cheshire
INGREDIENTS:
1 lb of hamburger
3-5 lbs of potatoes, diced (I always like lots of potatoes)
3-4 ears of corn for Fresh kernels
2-3 green bell peppers, diced
1 medium onion, diced
2 lbs of green beans, diced
1-2 cans of tomato sauce
1/2 c. Catchup (or more, to your taste)
Garlic Salt
Water
Fresh or dried herbs: I like rosemary, thyme, dill and/or basil
DIRECTIONS:
How to cut Fresh kernels:
Stand ear of corn on it's end. While holding the ear at a diagonal, use a sharp, non-serrated knife to
cut down the edge of the corn, freeing the corn from the ear. The kernels will fall to the bottom
(so do this on a cutting board). Turn the corn a bit and repeat. Free all the kernels from the corn
before starting this recipe.
In a large pot, brown the hamburger. As it browns, sprinkle with garlic salt and pepper. You can
add other spices at this stage. Once the meat is cooked, drain it and remove the hamburger. In the
same pot, sauté the onion in a bit of oil. After the onion has cooked for a bit, add the green
peppers and sauté both until they are about 3/4 cooked. Add the hamburger back as well as the
potatoes, corn, and green beans. Give this all a nice good stir and add the cans of tomato sauce
and ketchup. Add water until the veggies and meat are just submerged. Add the rest of the herbs
and boil on medium-high, stirring occasionally. Once the potatoes are soft, it is done. This goulash
is well served with....
