SEGEDíNSKý GULáš - CZECH SZEGEDIN GOULASH

Steps:

• Before you start cooking: Cut the pork into 1-inch pieces. Peel onions and chop them finely. Peel a clove of garlic and press it. Cut bacon into small ¼-inch dices. Strain the sauerkraut (do not rinse it!) and cut it into bite-size pieces.
• In a pot with a thick bottom (I use one of my beloved dutch ovens), melt half of the lard over medium heat. Add diced bacon and render; it takes about 3-5 minutes. Stir occasionally. Set the rendered bacon aside, use a slotted spoon.
• Place the rest of the lard in the same pot, sprinkle with crushed caraway seeds. Stir. Add chopped onions and sauté them until slightly golden while stirring.
• Turn up the heat, add pork and sear the meat for 3 minutes, stirring frequently.
• Reduce heat to medium, dust with sweet ground paprika. Add pressed garlic. Fry for 1 minute while stirring.
• Add flour and fry for a further 1 minute. Stir well.
• Salt the base for segedín, pour in the water or beef broth that the pork is covered. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a minimum, cover with a lid and let it simmer for 30 minutes.
• Only now add fried bacon, sauerkraut, and let it cook for additional 30 minutes, or until the pork is tender. Stir occasionally.
• As the final step, add sour cream, don't cook anymore.
• Just stir well, salt to your liking, and Szegedin goulash is done!
