Goulash is the signature dish of Hungry, most commonly eaten in Central Europe but also liked and loved across the Europe. History of Goulash trace back to 9th Century to stews eaten by Hungarian Shepherds. In ancient times, the cooked meat was preserved by drying under the sun and packed in the bags made from sheep’s stomach. This dried meat was then boiled to make a meal. As paprika was not introduced that time so ancient recipe was made without using paprika. The name of the recipe was originated from the word “Gulyás” meaning “Cowboy”. Over the time the recipe name changed to “Gulyáshús” meaning “Food cooked by Cowboy”.
Goulash can be made from beef, veal, pork, or lamb. Variations can be made according to taste and choice.
