Hungarian Veal Goulash Recipe

veal

🥗Healthier: chicken

💰Cheaper: pork

Chicken is leaner and more affordable than veal.

beef broth

🥗Healthier: vegetable broth

💰Cheaper: water + seasoning

Vegetable broth reduces sodium and is often cheaper.

paprika

🥗Healthier: smoked paprika

💰Cheaper: regular paprika

Smoked paprika adds depth without significant cost increase.

potatoes

🥗Healthier: sweet potatoes

💰Cheaper: no substitutes

Sweet potatoes offer more nutrients but are not always cheaper.

Heat a little oil in a pan over medium heat.

Add chopped fresh chili and cook for a few seconds.

Add potatoes and finely chopped onion, along with sweet red capsicum, and stir for five to six minutes before removing.

Add more oil to the same pan and add 500 g of meat pieces, searing them with plenty of heat.

Return the cooked ingredients to the pan and season with salt, black pepper, paprika, and chili sauce.

Add stock and allow the mixture to simmer gently until the meat and potatoes are tender.

Prepare pie toppings using sheets of bought puff pastry brushed with egg glaze and bake at 190 C until golden brown.

Thicken the goulash with corn flour dissolved in water before serving.
