Hungarian goulash, or “gulyás,” is a hearty stew that stands as a national symbol of Hungary. Originating from medieval shepherds who cooked meat in cauldrons, it has evolved into a beloved dish. Its essence lies in tender beef, simmered with onions, paprika, and other vegetables. The generous use of paprika, a spice central to Hungarian cuisine, imparts a distinct, rich flavor and vibrant color. Often served with egg noodles or crusty bread, goulash offers warmth and comfort, reflecting the rustic traditions and culinary heritage of Hungary. It’s a true taste of Hungarian soul.
