Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds pork shoulder (cut into 1-inch cubes)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large yellow onion (finely chopped)
- 3 cloves garlic cloves (minced)
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon caraway seeds
- 3 cups chicken broth
- 2 cups sauerkraut (drained)
- 1 14-ounce can diced tomatoes (canned, with juice)
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup sour cream (for garnish, optional)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish, optional)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Season the pork cubes with salt and pepper, then sear in batches until browned on all sides. Remove the pork from the pot and set aside.
Lower the heat to medium and add the chopped onion, cooking for 5-7 minutes until softened and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic, smoked paprika, and caraway seeds, cooking for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Return the seared pork to the pot, then pour in the chicken broth. Stir well to deglaze the bottom of the pot and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Add the sauerkraut, canned diced tomatoes (with their juice), and bay leaves. Stir to combine the ingredients thoroughly.
Reduce the heat to low, cover with a lid, and let the goulash simmer gently for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until the pork is tender and the flavors have melded together.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
Remove the bay leaves before serving. Serve hot, optionally garnished with sour cream and fresh parsley.
