Szegediner Goulasch with Sauerkraut – Hungarian Stew

The Szegediner Goulash comes originally from Hungary and is named after the writer and poet Josef Szekely (1825-1895). In Hungarian it is called Szekely Gulasch. It has become a very popular Gulasch recipe in Germany and the combination of beef/pork stew and Sauerkraut is delicious. The recipe went from Hungary to Austria and then reached Germany as well. It is rather a dish for the winter months because of the Sauerkraut but you can make it at any time because it tastes excellent. Serve with boiled potatoes or dumplings. Enjoy this meal. Happy Cooking!
