Hungarian Goulash

Hello Everyone!

Today I’m sharing with you one of Hungary’s national treasures, the mouth-watering Hungarian Goulash, which is made of pork.

It is served in every Hungarian restaurant and all Hungarian households.  Most people keep to the original recipe, but some of the brave ones add a little something to it to make it their own.  Today I’m sharing with you the original recipe, but you may add such things as chipotle peppers, chipotle oil instead of olive oil etc.

Many people (even today) use lard instead of oil to make this dish, however you can create an authentic Goulash the healthy way by using olive or grape seed oil.

INGREDIENTS

500 grams of pork 🐖 shoulder, cut into cubes
1 large onion, peeled, chopped
1 large 🍅 tomato, peeled, chopped
1/2 green bell pepper, sliced
1/2 red bell pepper, sliced
1 chili 🌶 pepper, sliced
1 clove of garlic, peeled
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp red paprika powder (sweet)
2 tbsp olive oil

TIP

Remove the stem and seeds of the bell peppers.

You may use jalapeño pepper or any other hot peppers instead of chili 🌶 pepper.  👩🏻‍🍳Remember to always wash peppers, tomatoes and of course any meat that you would be cooking.

PREPARE GOULASH

Place oil, onion, peppers, tomato and garlic in large pot; sauté on medium heat for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Remove pot from heat and stir in red paprika; mix well; add salt, stir, return to heat and add meat. Stir and sauté for about 5 minutes, then add enough 💦 water to cover meat completely.

Cook meat until tender, if needed add more 💦 water.

Serve with Hungarian “nokedli” which is a type of spaetzle. However you may also serve it with your favorite side dish such as boiled 🥔 potatoes, rice, pasta etc.
