Goulash, which came to us from Hungary, goes well with any side dish or is served as a separate dish. Literally, the word "goulash" is translated as "cattle herder". Shepherds who went into the mountains for a long time cooked goulash in their pots over a fire. Onions are fried in melted fat, then pieces of tender young beef are added, all this is poured with a small amount of water and stewed. Subsequently, you can add tomatoes or tomato paste, potatoes, mushrooms and spicy spices.

Classic pork goulash - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes! Beef, chicken, or even turkey work well as substitutes. Adjust cooking times accordingly, as beef may take longer to tenderize.
Replace pork with mushrooms, lentils, or tofu. Use vegetable broth instead of water, and omit flour or substitute with cornstarch for thickening.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave with a splash of water to loosen the sauce.
Yes! Freeze in portion-sized containers for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge and reheat thoroughly before serving.
Try mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or crusty bread. A fresh salad or pickled vegetables add a nice contrast to the rich flavors.
Skip the flour or use a low-carb thickener like xanthan gum. Serve over cauliflower mash or zucchini noodles instead of traditional starches.
Simmer uncovered to reduce the liquid, or mix 1 tsp cornstarch with cold water and stir it in to thicken. Avoid adding too much water initially.
Absolutely! Brown the meat and veggies first for flavor, then transfer to a slow cooker with remaining ingredients. Cook on low for 6-8 hours.
Try adding a splash of red wine, a pinch of smoked paprika, or a tablespoon of tomato paste while sautéing the onions and carrots.
