Recently, my crop of tomatoes came in in force from my garden. I had to do something with those tomatoes. I began making Tomato Pasta Pesto salad, but I had a taste for mushroom goulash, something I'd eaten many years ago, but no longer had the recipe. I began researching various goulash recipes on the web, and from a combination of those, plus my memory of making the one from years ago, I put this one together. I think this one is better than the one I remember from years ago.

Preparation
- Wash, core, and peel tomatoes. I offer the following suggestion to easily peel fresh tomatoes.
- Bring large pan of water to boil.
- Place a few of the tomatoes into the boiling water. Return to boil, and boil for 2 minutes.
- Remove tomatoes from pan with slotted spoon. Add more tomatoes to water and repeat until all tomatoes have been placed in boiling water.
- Cool until you can handle them safely. The thin, translucent skin should peel off easily with paring knife or fingernails.
- Chop all other vegetables into bite-sized pieces.
- Chop garlic cloves very fine.
