What do you think about Hungarian Goulash?
Finally the main misconception is well addressed. Goulash is actually a soup and not a stew. If you'd like to taste your favourite goulash ask for pörkölt.
I was in Budapest earlier this year and had true Hungarian Goulash for the first time. The difference is night and day compared to what I have eaten in the states. The flavor is so deep and rich.
Here is my shitty take as a hungarian citizen: Goulash (and for that matter the stew, pörkökt and paprikás) is not a gourmet dish. As long as you have the appropriate paprika in it, it will taste as intended.
This dish is common in China due to Soviet influence, many uneducated even believe it's Chiense tradition.
Ask any Hungarian, goulash is a soup. They get a bit huffy if it's called a stew. Also you know you're in a Hungarian store when the marjoram is sold in 50g packets and the paprika is sold in half pound bags. Lol.
At least! Yes, sweating onions takes half an hour! But everywhere else, cooks or receipts claim, that it only takes five to ten minutes. Cooking needs time and can not be hurried!
If I got to choose, THE Hungarian staple food would not be gulyas, but halaszle, a thick fish soup which is absolutely heavenly, if made properly.
One of my favo food. As a Turk I love Hungary and the food. I was last year in Budapest, what a taste.. Super delicious.
The Hungarians are lucky : they have Goulash and Viktor Orban.
It is true what the video explains - goulash in Hungary is a nice spicy soup. People get it wrong because it spread all over Central Europe (Austria, Czechia) and the Balkans (Croatia, Serbia etc) and has been modified to suit local tastes. The ingredients that all the recipes have in common are beef, lots of slowly cooked onions, root vegetables and Hungarian paprika. I also put in a lot of ground black pepper.
Grandma made goulash a lot like this whenever she had a lot of mouths to feed. With the paprika, and because we are in America and she needed more volume we always had a hug pot of noodles or rice and greens.
I love goulash soup. It's my hearty food for the winter. Due to it's ingredients (vegetables ie: onions, carrots, potatoes, parsley) and ofcourse sweet paprika goulash is very nutritious. Thank you for sharing some secrets to make goulash even better.
I was blown away by the diversity and high quality of Hungarian food, in the restaurants, cafes, and in the market. Goulash is the best beef soup!! And the pastries are better than in France.
I missed one very important spice from the video! The caraway seed is the other iconic spice alongside paprika. You can add it grounded or whole. You can thank me later. Oh, and for me, Gulyás is not finished without a teaspoon of Erős Pista (hungarian spicy paprika paste). If you eat Goulash in hungary, make sure to ask for it, it should be available everywhere.
Yum, we LOVE Hungarian goulash, such a great traditional dish. It was really wonderful to learn more about it and to understand everything that goes into the dish. Thanks for such a great video! Loved seeing all the paprika.
Hungary is also known as one of the best countries with sausages and salami, like Pick salmi
That goulash looks amazing! It looks so rich and tasty. Super!
My family goulash was kind of in between a stew and a soup. I definitely loved the soup characteristic as a kid and it made up a big part of my memory of the dish from childhood
It looks very simple and delicious!
