Friend from Bavaria staying with us, she cooked this amazing typical bavarian meal for us, I would like to share it with you
Courgette goulash:
1 Kg courgettes
3 onions, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 tbsp tomato puree
salt, cayenne pepper, marjoram, caraway seeds
3 tbsp paprika
100ml bouillon
clarified butter for frying
50ml double cream
Peel and dice the courgettes. Fry onion until golden, add garlic, fry for another minute, add tomato puree, spices and bouillon powder, plus 100ml of water, add courgettes, stir through and simmer for 15 minutes. Stir in double cream to thicken the sauce.
Serve with a low carb dumpling, make these the day before, these are worth the bit of extra effort:
250 g Low-Carb-Bread
2 eggs
1small onion, finely diced
1-2 tbsp Butter
125 ml milk
1 tbsp chopped parsley
1/2 tsp salt
freshly ground black pepper
makes 6 dumplings at 2.5 carbs each
Cut bread into 1cm cubes, place in bowl, add parsley, salt and pepper. Fry onion until translucent but not browned, pour milk into pan, bring to boil, take off the heat and pour over the bread mixture. Add the eggs, and stir through gently, leave mixture to stand for 1/2 hour.
Shape mixture into 6 dumplings, freeze, then place each solid frozen dumpling into a boil-in-the bag freezer bag. When you are ready to use them, bring a pan of water to a rolling boil, place dumpling with the bag into the water, reduce heat and simmer for 15 mins, serve with goulash or any other dish that has lots of sauce, eg ragout, casseroles, stews, etc.
Here is a photo of dumplings with creamed mushrooms.
