Since we failed to read the instructions right through before we started, we just put everything into a large rectangular glass dish as we took the ingredients from their hiding places and mixed thoroughly; the result was fine. The book says the paste can be kept in a refrigerator for a week... We had enough paste to cover thoroughly about 4 pork tenderloins, although we prepared only two. I kept the tenderloins basted with the marinade during slow cooking on the gas grill. Served with potatoes, halved and grilled to a golden brown in foil and with a mixture of broccoli and cauliflower in a cheese sauce. Washed down with a nice cabernet, it seemed we have discovered one of the great meals of our lives!!! Mushroom Gulas AN OLD CZECH RECIPE WHICH CAN BE EATEN WITH BREAD, ON DUMPLINGS OR OVER PASTA QUANTITIES OF INGREDIENTS ARE APPROXIMATE AND MAY BE MODIFIED TO SUIT THE PREPARER’S JUDGEMENT Back to Index As many types of mushrooms as are available, preferably forest mushroom types At least four medium onions, finely chopped and then sauteed to transparency Then add the mushrooms, tomatoes, garlic, green peppers, salt and caraway seed and simmer for 20 to 30 minutes. Sprinkle about a teaspoon of flour and a tablespoon of Podbrada (vegetable seasoning).
