Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 700 grams pork shoulder
- 2 medium onion
- 2 tablespoons lard or vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons paprika powder (sweet)
- 1 teaspoon caraway seeds
- 2 cloves garlic
- 500 grams sauerkraut
- 500 milliliters chicken or vegetable broth
- 200 grams sour cream
- 1 tablespoon flour
- salt
- black pepper
Instructions
Dice the pork shoulder into bite-sized cubes and set aside.
Finely chop the onions and mince the garlic.
In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, heat the lard or vegetable oil over medium heat.
Cook the onions until they are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Stir in the paprika powder and caraway seeds, ensuring the mixture is well-coated.
Add the diced pork to the pot and season lightly with salt and black pepper. Brown the meat on all sides, about 8-10 minutes.
Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Add the sauerkraut to the pot and stir well to combine. Cover with a lid and simmer on low heat for approximately 60 minutes, stirring occasionally.
In a small bowl, mix the sour cream and flour until smooth and lump-free.
After 60 minutes, stir the sour cream mixture into the goulash and let it cook for an additional 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if necessary.
Serve Segedin Goulash hot, traditionally accompanied by dumplings, bread, or boiled potatoes.
