Sophie, that beef stew looks wonderful. Thank you so much for sharing. Have a great day and may God bless you and your family. I did most of the cooking when my wife was sick but now that it is just me, I do not make large meals. But the other day I made one of your recipes and had leftovers for several days. I will surely make this beef and onion stew this week because the colder weather demands food that will warm my belly. Your videos already warm this old mans heart, so thank you. I always smile when I see that you have posted another video.

Perfect. I used to prepare it in the same way but with nokedli (Hungarian Spaetzle) instead of mashed potato. Especially thanks to the correct name of this food, it is called pörkölt, because goulash is a soup. Good job, thank You from Hungary.

[@istvanszabo5745]

I like browning the meat first when i cook anything, it adds a lot of flavor to any dish. Brown the meat, take it out, then put the onions in, the water from the onions will deglaze the pan and the brown bits that were stuck to the pan will make the dish much more tasty. And while you are browning the meat, you have time to cup up your veggies :) Nice recipe tho, greetings from Hungary!

@@2015DMJG Van a pörköltkészítésnek szabálya. Azt írta le. Ne utáld, használd a tudását. A babérlevelet sem később dobjuk bele, hanem pirítjuk. Jobb az aromája. Alap szakács tudomány.

[@hotelsinus]

We are - Hungarians - never use California Paprika or Green Bell Pepper for pörkölt! The base side dish is Nokedli not smashed potatos.

[@charlesnoska2225]

I agree never green pepper

Next time leave your alternatives to the products shown in the video so we knew how YOU do it. Because simply yapping “we don’t do this, you do that wrong” doesn’t impress anyone here.

So what? 95% of french people don’t know the right And true way to do « poule au pot »

[@stephaniejaniczekssmugglerscan]

And there isn’t an Italian family in Italy from the Piedmont to Calabria who make pasta sauce the same way. And when they come to the United States and see the melting pot, they all go into a frenzy because it’s not the way we do it. Italian Americans are like that’s how we do it. Make it the way you want.

It's so crazy to watch this being mexican, it's so similar to our food that it could be served at any house. We don't eat mashed potatoes often but the meat dish is classic Mexico.

[@EssenRecipes]

Hello and thank you for sharing your feedback❣️

[@elemcsere]

One time a Welsh guy asked me to explain how Hungarian food is like and I told him that it is a strange thing to say but it has some resemblance to Mexican food as well. Mostly due to the love of paprika of course

[@RobespierreThePoof]

It makes sense. The Spanish peasant cooking techniques that traveled to New Spain are fairly common throughout historical Europe.

[@fredfredburger5150]

It's funny you say that as I'm Irish and I look as Hungarian food as very similar to ours just with more spices added. Like the second I saw potatoes being prepared in this video I thought "Those potatoes are definitely getting mashed" and they were!
