Hard times good food

Every difficult time has developed food in the past.
The world would not have a lot of dishes if there had not been poor people.
I think about pizza or pasta what has been created by the poor in Italy, having to feed lots of family members.
An other example is the Guyas. The creation of shepards in the plains (Puszta)of Hungary.They had onions,beef, carrots,garlic,salt and pepper and for sure the best
Paprka Powder in the world.They cooked that stew in big kettles over the open fire in the fields where their sheeps had their grass.
Later on the Guyas was brought to the Emporers Castle in Vienna and made finer.
The Guyas today in Austria is thicker than the Hungarian and is prepared as follows:

1kg beef (from the shank)
1kg onions fine chopped
3 Tbsp Paprika powder
Garlic (4 gloves fine crusted)
1 l Beefstock
salt, pepper and 1 Tbsp Majoram

Roast the onions golden though that they are dry.
Add the meat and roast with the onions ,
take the pot from the fire and mix the paprika powder in and add a tbsp vinegar
that the Paprikapowder don't get bitter.

Add the liter beefstock and add everything else.
Let cook on low flame till meat is tender and the onion have thickend the sauce.

Serve with peeled ,cooked potatoes and enjoy!
