I adapted this from http://www.budapest-tourist-guide.com website. This is my version of it but its close. I Love my Romertopf Clay Pot-It really make things happen much faster. My boyfriend does not like caraway seeds but I really like them ( if you dont like Caraway then this recipe is still great without it.)

AUTHENTIC HUNGARIAN GOULASH

Authentic Hungarian Goulash image

Here is a recipe for authentic Hungarian Goulash I learned to make from my grandmother and mother who were from Austria-Hungary. We would NEVER consider tomatoes or green peppers or other spices in Goulash. Slow cooking is the secret and you can never use too much paprika. Note: my grandmother made the biscuits from scratch, but I find the Bisquick ones are easier and tastier.

### Hungarian Goulash in a Pot **Cooking Hungarian Goulash** - Use a heavy-bottomed pot or cauldron over medium heat which will evenly distribute temperature. - Sear the meat until nicely browned and crispy on all sides. - Then set the meat to one side. - Add onions and paprika to the pot and cook until onions are translucent. - Add meat back into the pot along with any juices that have accumulated. - Add green peppers, red peppers, tomatoes, and broth or water. - Season with salt, carAWAY seeds and chili powder. - Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for at least 1 hour, or until meat is fall-apart-tender. - Serve over egg noodles or mashed картофель. ### Helpful Hints - Using a variety of meats will give the goulash a more complex and flavorful taste. - Slicing against the muscle fibers of your meat will create more surface area for searing, resulting in a more flavorful goulash. - If you don't have time to simmer the goulash for an hour, you can use a pressure cooker to cook it in about 30 minutes. - Garnish with fresh parsley or dill for a pop of color and freshness. ### Conclusion Hungarian goulash is a hearty and flavorful dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. With its combination of spices and variety of meats, it is sure to please everyone at the table. If you're looking for a new stew to try, give this Hungarian goulash a try. You won't be失望.
