**Pork Goulash: A Hearty and Flavorful Hungarian Stew**

Pork goulash is a traditional Hungarian stew that is characterized by its rich, flavorful broth, tender pork, and abundance of paprika. This hearty and comforting dish is a staple in many Hungarian households and is often served with egg noodles, mashed potatoes, or dumplings. While there are many variations of pork goulash, the basic ingredients typically include pork shoulder or beef chuck, onions, garlic, paprika, caraway seeds, and tomatoes. The pork is browned in a large pot or Dutch oven, and then the onions, garlic, and spices are added. The mixture is cooked until the vegetables are softened and the spices are fragrant. Next, the tomatoes and broth are added, and the stew is simmered until the pork is tender. Pork goulash can be made ahead of time and reheated, making it a convenient meal for busy weeknights. This article includes recipes for two variations of pork goulash: a classic Hungarian pork goulash and a pork goulash with dumplings. Both recipes are easy to follow and result in a delicious and satisfying stew that is sure to warm you up on a cold winter day.

Categories     Dinner, Lunch, Main course, Supper

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 onions , thinly sliced
600g pork fillet
2 tbsp paprika
300ml/½ pint chicken or vegetable stock
100ml crème fraîche (about half a tub)

Steps:

  • Heat 2 tbsp oil in a pan add the onions and fry for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally until softened and lightly coloured.
  • Cut the pork into sizeable chunks, then add to the pan and stir over a fairly high heat to seal and brown them all over. Stir in the paprika, cook briefly, then add the stock and bring to the boil.
  • Cover and cook for 30-35 minutes, until the pork is tender. Stir in the crème fraîche and simmer for a further 2 minutes. (You can prepare the dish to this point up to 2 days ahead or freeze for up to 3 months.) If you have a few chives or a bit of parsley handy, snip this over the pork before serving with rice and a green vegetable - broccoli or stir-fried cabbage make the perfect accompaniment to this simple but delicious dish.

Goulash makes a great freezer standby - just the job when you're pushed for time, but want the comfort of a stew

Provided by Good Food team

Categories     Dinner, Main course

Time 1h55m

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tbsp olive oil
1 ½kg pork tenderloin, cut into strips
2 onions, cut into thin wedges
4 garlic cloves, crushed
1-2 tbsp smoked paprika
500ml beef stock
2 x cans chopped tomato
1 tbsp sugar
3 peppers, chopped
250g self-raising flour
140g shredded suet
1 ½ tsp baking powder
small bunch oregano, most leaves chopped

Steps:

  • Heat half the oil in a large frying pan and fry the pork for 4-5 mins until browned. Once done, remove and set aside. You may need to do this in batches. Use remaining oil to fry the onions for 8-10 mins until soft and starting to brown. Then add the garlic and paprika, and cook for 1-2 mins more. Return the pork to the pan and pour in the stock, tomatoes and sugar. Bring to the boil, then turn down and simmer for 20-30 mins until the sauce has thickened.
  • To make the dumplings, combine all the ingredients, apart from the unchopped oregano leaves, with enough cold water to make a scone-like dough. Roll into approximately 30 walnut-size balls. Stir the peppers into the goulash. Tuck in the dumplings, cover the pan with a lid and cook for 25-30 mins until the dumplings are puffed up. Allow to cool and freeze for up to 2 months, or serve scattered with reserved oregano and some soured cream.
  • If frozen, defrost then re-heat in the microwave on medium for 4-6 mins for a single portion, and longer for larger servings or gently on the hob, covered, until piping hot.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality pork shoulder or chuck roast for the best flavor.
  • Brown the meat in batches to prevent overcrowding and ensure even cooking.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven to evenly distribute heat and prevent burning.
  • Add enough liquid to cover the meat, but not too much, or the goulash will be too thin.
  • Simmer the goulash for at least 1 hour, or until the meat is fall-apart tender.
  • Season the goulash to taste with salt, pepper, and paprika.
  • Serve the goulash with mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or rice.

Conclusion:

Pork goulash is a hearty and flavorful dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious pork goulash that your family and friends will love.
