If there is one Hungarian dish that everyone knows, it’s the Goulash (gulyás). It is the most common soup of Hungarians. It is very easy to prepare, but it takes some time and of course, you need authentic Hungarian paprika for it.
This is the official authentic recipe for Hungarian gulyás:
1 kg beef leg or shoulders, diced
2 onions, diced
sunflower oil or lard
authentic sweet Hungarian paprika from Kalocsa
Heat the oil or lard in a large pot. Sauté the onions and add the meat, let it become brown. You can also add some chopped garlic. Then sprinkle with paprika. Be careful, paprika can go bitter very quickly in the hot oil! You can let it simmer in its own juice. You can also add water, but not much. Sometimes Hungarians add potatoes to goulash, and also carrots or spices like bay leaves, but it is not an authentic variety. The goulash is ready when the meat is tender.
Hungarians like to eat gulyás with csipetke, a type of noodle. To make the batter for csipetke, mix 1 egg with about a half cup of flour. Then use a small spoon or csipetkeszaggató to dump the noodles in the soup.
Bon Appetit!
