1 large head cabbage, chopped and steam until tender

              gulyas

              Gulyas (Hungary)

              "Gulyas" means cattle- or sheep-herder in Hungarian. This hearty soup has traditional roots in the foods prepared by rustic herders, long ago. Serve the soup in bowls topped with sour cream.

              1 pound lean boneless stewing beef
              2 tablespoons olive oil
              2 medium onions, peeled and chopped
              2 cloves garlic, peeled and chopped
              2 teaspoons Hungarian sweet paprika
              Dash of cayenne pepper
              3 cups beef stock or broth
              2 cups water
              1/2 teaspoon caraway seed
              1/2 teaspoon crumbled dry marjoram
              Salt and pepper
              1 (16 ounce) can tomatoes, broken up
              3 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
              2 medium carrots, peeled and sliced
              2 red (or green) bell peppers, cut into chunks
              2 tablespoons flour
              2 tablespoons water
              Csipetke, if desired
              Sour cream

              Wipe beef with damp cloth; cut into 1-inch cubes. Place oil in Dutch oven. Add beef; brown well on all sides. Remove from pan with slotted spoon; set aside.

              Add onions and garlic to pan; cook 4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add paprika, cayenne, stock, the 2 cups water, caraway, marjoram, salt, pepper and meat. Stir well. Bring to boil over moderate heat. Reduce heat to low; cook, covered, 45 minutes.

              Add tomatoes, potatoes, carrots, and peppers. Stir well; return to boil. Cover; cook 30 minutes.

              Combine flour and the 2 tablespoons water; stir to form smooth paste. Add slowly to soup, stirring well. Cook over low heat, stirring until thickened. Drop Csipetke (noodle/dumplings) into soup before serving, if desired.

              Serves 4 to 6.

                  fish with sour cream (betyar fogas)

                  Fish with Sour Cream (Betyar Fogas)

                  In Hungary and Austria, Betyar Fogas is usually accompanied by boiled russet potatoes.

                  1 pound fish fillets
                  4 ounces fresh mushrooms, sliced
                  1 small onion, chopped
                  1 tablespoon butter or margarine
                  1/2 teaspoon salt
                  1/8 teaspoon pepper
                  1/2 cup dairy sour cream
                  3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
                  2 tablespoons dry bread crumbs
                  Paprika
                  Snipped parsley

                  If fish fillets are large, cut into serving pieces. Pat fish dry; arrange in ungreased 12 x 7 1/2-inch baking dish. Cook and stir mushrooms and onion in butter until mushrooms are golden, about 3 minutes. Spoon mushrooms mixture over fish; sprinkle with salt and pepper.

                  Mix sour cream and cheese; spread over mushroom mixture. Sprinkle with bread crumbs. Bake uncovered at 350 degrees F until fish flakes easily with fork, 25 to 30 minutes. Sprinkle with paprika and parsley.

                  Yields 4 to 6 servings.

                      latvian gingerbread

                      Latvian Gingerbread

                      1/3 cup molasses
                      1 cup brown sugar
                      3 tablespoons lard (it must be lard)
                      1/2 cup butter
                      1/3 cup honey
                      2 1/2 cups flour
                      1 teaspoon cinnamon
                      1 teaspoon ginger
                      1/2 teaspoon black pepper
                      1/2 teaspoon cloves
                      1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
                      1/2 teaspoon cardamom
                      1/2 teaspoon coriander
                      2 eggs, slightly beaten
                      2 1/4 cups flour
                      1/2 teaspoon baking soda
                      1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

                      Combine molasses, brown sugar, lard, butter and honey in a pot, heat until everything is melted together, but DO NOT SCORCH. If you do, the gingerbread won hold together. Add the 2 1/2 coups flour and spices to the mixture. Let the mixture cool a bit. Add eggs, then let the mixture cool completely. Add the 2 1/4 cups flour (a little bit more if the dough is sticky when kneading), baking soda and baking powder. Knead until smooth and not sticky. Refrigerate overnight.

                      Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

                      Roll the dough out quite thin and press gingerbread shapes. Bake until just golden and lightly brown underneath, about 3 to 5 minutes, depending on your oven. Let cool, then remove from pan.
