Delicious Hungarian Goulash

This delicious Hungarian Goulash recipe is just divine. It’s slow cooked to give that full flavoured wholesome meal, with melt-in-your-mouth tender chunks of beef in a rich, thick sauce.

European food is totally my jam, and more so Hungarian, as it’s part of my heritage. Like most traditional recipes, everyone has their opinion or version of what an authentic goulash is. But at the end of the day, as long as you love it, that is all that counts.

The classic way to make it is on the stove top but I love using my slow cooker, so I am going to show you how to make it this way. It doesn’t change anything ingredient wise, but I just love the result and everytime the flavour is just so much more robust.

The only suggestions that I’m going to recommend is that delicious Hungarian goulash is served in shallow bowls. Egg noodles, spaetzle or mashed potatoes are also the perfect match to serve with too. Cheers and enjoy!
