For the goulash, peel and chop the onions. Cut bacon into strips. Wash the meat and dab dry. Heat oil in a roasting pan. Brown the meat in it in portions. Season with salt and pepper and remove. Fry the bacon and onions in the frying fat.
Add meat again. Dust with flour and sauté briefly. Deglaze with 3⁄4 l water. Season with salt, pepper, pimento, juniper and bay leaf. Bring to the boil, cover and stew for about 2 1⁄2 hours. After about 2 hours peel, wash and slice carrots and add to the meat.
For the Gremolata chestnuts dice roughly. Peel the pear and cut into fine cubes. Heat butter in a pan. Fry the chestnuts for about 5 minutes. Add diced pears and fry for another 2 minutes.
Wash, chop and stir in parsley. Season with salt and pepper. Arrange goulash with the Gremolata. Mashed potatoes taste good with it.
