That's how much I don't try to remember something good from my experience of being in kindergarten, but somehow I just can't remember anything. And I'm not complaining about my memory, it's just that the really kindergarten I went to was a real test for me.

Most of all, I did not like to go to sleep there in cold beds next to sniffing children and I well remember how I lay with my eyes open and could not sleep. And I also didn’t like our teacher Nina Petrovna, who reminded me more of a trainer in a circus, and when she entered the group, I shrank from fear.

When my son grew up and the question of a kindergarten arose, my husband and I walked around several nearby kindergartens, and every time, crossing the threshold of the kindergarten, childhood memories covered me - I realized that nothing had changed in this system for 20 years. Then we decided to send the child to a private garden, and I must say, I have never regretted it. This is a completely different approach to children, a different environment and the child was happy to be there. I also loved that they had excellent baby food, and my son often asked for extra portions. He especially loved meat goulash with gravy, and I had to learn how to cook beef goulash at home like in kindergarten. I can't say with certainty that the recipe is identical to the one that was used in the garden, but my son claims that it is.

I like to cook such a dish, because the cooking technology is not complicated, and in 40-50 minutes (depending on how quickly the meat is cooked) we get a complete main dish with sauce. From experience, I’ll say that my pets love to have more sauce, so I add a little more liquid to the meat fried with vegetables than indicated in the recipe. To make the sauce thick, I sprinkle the meat and vegetables with flour, and for taste I also put (sauce) and my favorite spices. By the way, I cook such a dish right in a frying pan, which is very convenient, because you don't need to wash excess dishes later.

Recipe with photo step by step:

Preparation:




The most difficult process is the preparation of meat and vegetables.
We wash the meat, dry it and cut it into small pieces.
We peel the onion and chop it finely with a knife.
Chop the peeled carrots on a coarse grater.
Pour oil into a preheated frying pan and spread the pieces of meat.




Fry them first on the highest heat for a couple of minutes, and then, after the crust forms on the meat, remove the heat and cook a little more. This makes the meat more juicy and tasty.




We send vegetables to the meat and sauté them until golden brown.






Then pour the flour directly onto the meat and vegetables.




We mix.
Next, add tomato paste, spices and salt.




Pour in hot water or broth. Mix well so that no lumps of flour come out, and simmer the dish for 35-40 minutes on medium heat.
