Hungarian pork goulash soup classic recipe

Traditionally classic hungarian goulash prepared from beef or veal. I decided to tell you how to cook this pork goulash. There is no big difference in preparation.

Ingredients:

  • Pork neck carb – 800 g
  • Bell pepper - 2 pcs
  • Tomatoes - 2 pcs.
  • Potatoes - 500 g
  • Onion - 1 piece
  • Garlic - 2 cloves
  • Paprika - 1 tbsp. spoon
  • Cumin - 0.5 teaspoon
  • Flour - 50 g
  • Egg - 1 pc.
  • Salt - to taste

Prepare the meat; cut it into medium cubes.

Finely chop the garlic and cut the onion into cubes. Now place the cauldron (if there is no cauldron, then a deep frying pan) on the stove, add vegetable oil and heat it. According to the classic recipe, frying meat with onions is done in lard fat, but pork already has enough fat content, so we will use vegetable oil. Add the garlic and fry for just one minute, immediately add the onion and fry until translucent.

Then place the meat in a cauldron and fry it as well.

As soon as the pork is fried, pour boiling water to lightly cover the meat, add sweet paprika, stir and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat on the stove and simmer with the lid closed for 15 minutes.

You can add other seasonings to the meat according to your taste.

Cut the tomatoes into cubes and add to the meat, bring to a boil and reduce the heat on the stove again, cover with a lid and leave to simmer for another 10 minutes.

Cut the bell pepper into cubes. Peel the potatoes and also cut them into medium-sized cubes.

Let's take care of the chipettes (dumplings). Beat the egg, shake and pour about half of it. Add salt, a little herbs, a clove of garlic passed through a press and mix everything. Add a tablespoon of sifted flour and knead the dough with a fork. Dust your hands with flour, form small peas from the resulting dough and put the plate with them in the refrigerator.

Remove the lid from the cauldron and taste the meat; it should be soft and already cooked. If the meat is too tough, leave to simmer for another 15 minutes. When the meat becomes tender, add potatoes to the cauldron and Bell pepper, mix everything carefully. Add a little boiling water, bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until the potatoes are done.

10 minutes have passed and now we give the dish the desired aroma. Add cumin, salt and, if desired, ground black pepper, cover with a lid and leave for another 3 minutes. The highlight of the program remains - chipettes (dumplings). Place them in boiling goulash; their readiness is determined very simply; they should float to the surface.

Classic Hungarian goulash soup with meat is ready. This goulash can also be used as a first course.

However, this doesn’t bother the Hungarians much. They have goulash - universal dish, which successfully serves as a festive dish and at the same time is readily prepared on weekdays. Goulash is generally very democratic. He doesn’t even require specific meat: there are authentic, traditional recipes based on lamb, beef, pork, game, poultry and even fish.

In the red-hot vegetable oil The pieces are fried very quickly - almost at maximum heat. All blocks must maintain a distance from each other; if there are a lot of them, fry them in parts. Otherwise, the internal juice will leave the pork. When all the slices are browned, add two chopped onions. When they become transparent, a glass of broth is poured in, the container is covered with a lid, and the goulash is quietly stewed for an hour. When there is not enough liquid, you need to add boiling water - cold or raw water will kill the taste of goulash.
