  • Servings: 4

Goulash has originated and is a national dish in Hungary but it is also a popular meal in other parts of Europe.

It is a stew of meat (any meat) and vegetables and seasoned mainly with paprika.

It is served with either home made dumplings, or potatoes, or noodles, or just bread.

I usually serve goulash with pasta such as Fusili, Elbow Macaroni, Penne or Farfalle (Bow Ties).
