Hungarian Goulash
Hungarian Goulash is comfort food at its best! Rich, inviting and flavour packed, don’t let the amount of paprika dissuade you, the long, slow braising time evens and tones, leaving nothing but subtle warmth. Serve with your side of choice; keep it authentic with dumplings or broad egg noodles, mix cultures and try it over polenta or, do like we did, and serve it over a bed of creamy mash potatoes.
