Yield: 6 servings


2 lb Boneless stewing meat
Marinade:
1 1/4 c red wine
2 tb olive oil
1 onion; chopped
1 md carrot; sliced thin
6 black peppercorns
1 bay leaf
Flour for coating
2 lg Sweet red bell peppers;

1 md Onion; chopped
2 cl Garlic; minced
1 Rib of celery; sliced
3 tb Olive oil
14 oz Canned tomatoes
2 tb Tomato paste
2 tb Paprika
1 ts Caraway seeds (opt'l)
Salt
Fresh ground black pepper
1 lb Potatoes
1 1/4 c Plain yoghurt or sour cream

In a shallow dish, combine all the marinade ingredients and add the cubed
caribou. Cover and leave in a cool place for 24 hours. Remove the meat
cubes from the marinade. Pat dry and roll in a little flour. Strain the
marinade and reserve.

Cut the peppers in half and remove seeds. Chop the peppers into cubes. Chop the
onion and mince the garlic. Cut the celery into 1/2 inch slices.


Heat the oil in a large frying pan, and brown the caribou quickly. Remove it,
then add the chopped vegetables to the oil and saute quickly; but do not allow
to brown.

Put the caribou and fried vegetables into a flameproof casserole. Add the
tomatoes, roughly chopped, and the tomato paste.

Sprinkle the paprika, caraway seeds, and salt and pepper to taste on to the
contents of the casserole, and pour in the marinade liquid. Stir well and bring
almost to boiling. Cover. Turn down the heat and simmer gently on top of the
stove for 1 1/2-2 hours.

25 minutes before the goulash is ready, add the potatoes, peeled and cubed.

Just before serving, add the yoghurt/sour cream and stir. Taste for seasoning:
more paprika or caraway may be added if liked.
