Caribou Goulash Recipe

Recipe Ingredients

2 lb boneless stewing meat
1 marinade:
1 1/4 cup red wine
2 tbsp olive oil
1 onion, chopped
1 medium carrot, sliced thin
6 black peppercorns
1 bay leaf
1 flour for coating
2 large sweet red bell peppers, cubed
1 medium onion, chopped
2 cl garlic, minced
1 rib of celery, sliced
3 tbsp olive oil
14 oz canned tomatoes
2 tbsp tomato paste
2 tbsp paprika
1 tsp caraway seeds (opt'l)
1 salt
1 fresh ground black pepper
1 lb potatoes
1 1/4 cup 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.
