HUNGARIAN PORK GOULASH

Hungarian Pork Goulash image

We really enjoy pork, so I'm always searching for new recipes, especially those from ethnic backgrounds. Because of the sauerkraut in this goulash, my husband was hesitant to try it, but he ended up sopping up every drop with his bread. If you're like us and don't care for caraway seeds but like the flavor, grind or crush the caraway seeds.-Barbara Lundgren, New Brighton, Minnesota
