BEEF STEW

I love to explore new cuisines and create new recipes but there are days when I just need to cook some homey, comfort food. Mostly my days consists of plant-base rich dishes but than there are days that I just crave some hearty meat dish. Beef goulash is one of those go-to dishes that I always prepare when I need to nourish my soul and soothe my homesickness. Rich and hearty stew with chunks of good beef and lots of onions and generous amounts of paprika. This is my family adoption of traditional Hungarian Goulash.

This past Sunday I had a very similar emotional experience, but this time it wasn't wine; it honey. Specifically, a local raw honey a small roadside village in the deep south jungles of Myanmar.
