Recipe: Slow cooked Hungarian style stew

Time to open one of my souvenirs...

Gulyas, or Goulash, means cowboy and was traditionally eaten outdoors over a campfire. My Hungarian style paprika pork stew is slow cooked till the meat is soft and tender and served with macaroni.

Ingredients

  • 3 onions
  • 2 tbsp olive oil 
  • 2 tsp chilli flakes
  • 1 heaped tbsp sweet paprika
  • Around 800g cubed pork
  • 1 tbsp flour
  • 2 large red peppers, roughly chopped
  • 1 400g can chopped tomatoes
  • 500 ml stock
  • 1 level tsp caraway seeds
  • Noodles to serve
Method
  • Thickly slice up the onions and soften in a frying pan with the olive oil. Cook until they start to turn golden. Add the paprika and the chilli flakes and cook for a minute or two. Remove from pan and set aside.
  • Add a little more oil to the pan and fry your cubes of pork and cook until nicely browned. Add the tbsp of flour and stir in your onions for one minute.
  • Turn the slow cooker on low and add your pork and onions from the frying pan. Pour in the tin of tomatoes, the stock, add the red peppers. Season with the tsp of caraway seeds.
  • Cover and don't disturb for at least 6 hours (better at 8 hours). 
  • When  you're ready to serve, remove some of the fat from the surface with a wide spoon. Pour soured cream over the top and stir once.
  • Serve with noodles.
