Hungarian Goulash Is Trickier Than You'd Think | Food Secrets Ep. 18

[@DWFood]

What do you think about Hungarian Goulash?

[@titusmccarthy]

I LOVE IT! Spicy goulash.

[@hobotify]

As a hungarian, i have it every other week. It's a brilliant food, very easy to make, can use any kind of meat, and easily scalable. Hungarian "barbecue" is basically just a kettle of goulash boiling over an open flame.

[@Qlicky]

I'm from the Balkans, and I am yet to meet anyone not liking goulash. It's such a staple around here and you can find it any restaurant. I still haven't tried the authentic Hungarian one, but one of these days I will travel to Hungary specifically for the goulash and their food.

[@ToxicFarm]

Can we see recipe for French, Italian, Mexican, Romanian....or some other goulash?

[@ManoVirag]

Finally a real and authentic video of our beautiful Gulyas made by Hungarian people♥🤍💚 Its really important if you want to learn this hearty flavourful SOUP, first few times follow a Hungarian recipe or watch a Hungarian person making Gulyas on KZbin. Then you can create to your own taste ☺ Really important to use hungarian paprika, you can order it from ebay ,amazon really easily :) I like to add the carrots, fresh parsley ,turnip if you have in the earlier stages,and cook the meat with the veggier for about 3 hours on low heat.Then the flavor is really gonna be deep and come together slowly :) Add the potato in the last 40min 1 hour. The longer you cook it deeper the flavour is that's how my grandma taught me 🥰 Sometimes i can leave it there for 4-4,5 hours easily :) Hope this helped 😘

[@mgweir3252]

I was in Budapest earlier this year and had true Hungarian Goulash for the first time. The difference is night and day compared to what I have eaten in the states. The flavor is so deep and rich.

I was blown away by the diversity and high quality of Hungarian food, in the restaurants, cafes, and in the market. Goulash is the best beef soup!! And the pastries are better than in France.

[@tomsmithie3917]

Grandma made goulash a lot like this whenever she had a lot of mouths to feed. With the paprika, and because we are in America and she needed more volume we always had a hug pot of noodles or rice and greens. We miss you grandma. I will cook goulash for my grandkids.

[@ToudaHell]

Ask any Hungarian, goulash is a soup. They get a bit huffy if it's called a stew. Also you know you're in a Hungarian store when the marjoram is sold in 50g packets and the paprika is sold in half pound bags. Lol.

[@HungryTwoTravel]

Yum, we LOVE Hungarian goulash, such a great traditional dish. It was really wonderful to learn more about it and to understand everything that goes into the dish. Thanks for such a great video! Loved seeing all the paprika.

[@istvansajti6558]

Finally the main misconception is well addressed. Goulash is actually a soup and not a stew. If you'd like to taste your favourite goulash ask for pörkölt.

[@georgestephenson7158]

Agreed - it's such a misconception isn't it? My wife is Hungarian (Visegrad) and the first time I had this I was surprised - it was actually more like a *broth than a soup, and not a stew at all. Very different and I like both styles I have to say. But I love all Hungarian food, even if I am a bit biased. 🙂 *Broth is thinner than soup, more liquid like.

[@Zappina]

It wasnt really a misconception. Goulash was a much more thicker stew like dish when the Gulyás made it back then. Some people put pasta in it, which make it thicker. I once eat a goulash as thick as a pörkölt. It's simply how people make it, really. Pörkölt doesnt have root vegetables in it, although tere are some variations which have vegetables, like pees.

[@Kemloth]

True that. But I always found it interesting that it's full name is gulyásleves (gulyás soup) and basically first you have to make a pörkölt to make a good gulyásleves - this could mean that gulyás in itself is a synonime to marhapörkölt :D

[@istvansajti6558]

@@Zappina Indeed the thickness is something differs from family to family. Csipetke (egg based pasta) is not described here, but significantly adds to the thickness of the soup.

[@piratessalyx7871]

It can also be made thicker as chunks and a thick gravy over noodles or potatoes, thats the way I like it a more Austrian way

[@regineb.4756]

At least! Yes, sweating onions takes half an hour! But everywhere else, cooks or receipts claim, that it only takes five to ten minutes. Cooking needs time and can not be hurried!

[@Oldman808]

Yes, it is a puzzle to me how recipes say to brown an onion takes 5 minutes. Even if one “cheats” by adding sugar, it still takes much longer.

[@leventelajos5078]

Actually its not even sweating, you have to get a deep golden colour on them, so caramelization is the right term. Dont make it into onion jam tho.

[@lecherojr]

Sweating only takes 5 ish minutes, that’s no color on them, starting to soften and turn translucent. Caramelizing onions takes 30 minutes or so but can be sped up by starting them with lots of water

[@leventelajos5078]

I missed one very important spice from the video! The caraway seed is the other iconic spice alongside paprika. You can add it grounded or whole. You can thank me later. Oh, and for me, Gulyás is not finished without a teaspoon of Erős Pista (hungarian spicy paprika paste). If you eat Goulash in hungary, make sure to ask for it, it should be available everywhere.

[@sanyijoska2968]

pontosan igy! kömény nélkül nem gulyás a gulyás

[@bencesarosi7718]

Also were missing the potatoes and csipetke.

[@lbarna66]

Without caraway it doesn't even taste goulash...

[@jwnagy]

Yes! Dried paprika is good....however, the paste is intense and rich!

[@cacaberic]

It is true what the video explains - goulash in Hungary is a nice spicy soup. People get it wrong because it spread all over Central Europe (Austria, Czechia) and the Balkans (Croatia, Serbia etc) and has been modified to suit local tastes. The ingredients that all the recipes have in common are beef, lots of slowly cooked onions, root vegetables and Hungarian paprika. I also put in a lot of ground black pepper.

[@leventelajos5078]

Dont forget the caraway seeds!

[@saff3356]

I add white vine at the end.

[@leventelajos5078]

@@saff3356 If you are making a stew, and not a soup, the tradition is to add red wine at the end, and cook off the alcohol. In the soup, no one puts wine.

[@oliviaglass3843]

Absolutely 😊

[@Alfredromeothatsme]

My grandmother was Hungarian and her food was out of this world. We used to go to her house every Sunday for lunch and it was a three course meal, soup, main and then dessert! She only ever shopped in markets. I never remember her shopping in a supermarket, she went to the market daily for fresh produce. A simple dish she made but was my favourite as a teenager was a creamy spinach sauce served with French toast. I have no idea of the name of the dish but perhaps a Hungarian here may know?

[@phero9]

[@Alfredromeothatsme]

@@phero9 Thank you so much!

[@rogerborno9186]

I agree, meat is the king. Meat selection: Chef Szanto did not explain which meat cuts are suitable for goulash and which are not. Beef cheek is tender as well as fillet mignon (which is not suitable). So what is the main requirement for goulash meat? To have plenty of collagen - beef cheek, shin meat (shank). Collagen cooked "low and slow" in minimum liquid (braising) turns into gelatin - and this is the most precious quality in goulash. When finished the meat is tender but definitely not mushy, actually it is still little "firm/crunchy" (sticking to your teeth). I like the fact that meat was braised separately without onions. When onions were added to meat is not shown, I assume after 9:15 after meat was braised. The lady mentioned important fact at 8:30, when adding paprika take pot of the fire to cool it a little - paprika burns quickly and gets bitter. To get beautiful red color and superb taste from paprika into the goulash paprika must be "dissolved" in hot grease. By adding paprika into water you obtain "suspension" thus missing most of paprika's color and taste in your goulash.

[@xelakram]

That goulash looks amazing! It looks so rich and tasty. Super!

[@donronn71]

Here is my shitty take as a hungarian citizen: Goulash (and for that matter the stew, pörkökt and paprikás) is not a gourmet dish. As long as you have the appropriate paprika in it, it will taste as intended.

[@zHxIxPxPxIxEz]

It's the people food

[@gaborcsuzi4504]

Sure, but even with everything prepeared it takes hours to cook it properly without stop, you can't expect any restaurant to cook this for you in 30 minutes.

I often make it from leftover pörkölt. Excellent with either potatoes or beans in it.

[@ChenLinYu323]

This dish is common in China due to Soviet influence, many uneducated even believe it's Chiense tradition.

[@ggk9828]

They didn't give us a full recipe. I was hoping to get one so I could try it out myself.

[@bencesarosi7718]

The recipe will vary depending on who you ask, but here are the things you'll need if you ask me: Salo (If you can't get your hands on it, duck fat or lard will more than suffice. Can use vegetable oil if all else fails, but animal fat is definitely better) A pound of beef. Onions. I usually use 2 medium sized ones. Carrots. Five of them will do. Two parsley roots or parsnips. Garlic. God knows how many cloves. You'll have to taste and speculate. Or you can use garlic powder instead. I do the latter because it is easier. Potatoes. Maybe a pound or a little less. Two medium-to-larger ones should do the trick. An egg. 3.5 oz all purpose flour. Salt, ground black pepper, ground caraway seeds, Hungarian paprika powder. Some might view it as heresy, but if the carrots you can get are not the best in the world, you may need to add in a littlebit of sugar so the taste is balanced and vibrant. Last, but not least, good bread. Now, grab a nice large pot. Should be at least about 1.5 gallons. Dice the salo to about quarter inch pieces if you have it. Some say you can use bacon, but I'm not convinced. If you are using fat, skip this step. Put the pot on high heat and toss in the salo. It'll release a lot of fat. Dice up the onion. I'd suggest fine dice, but whatever you're comfortable with. Might be a good idea to chop up the beef now to inch or so dices as well, so your onions won't burn while you're doing this. Sauté the onion until nice and translucent. Add in the meat, add salt, a teaspoon of the black pepper and two teaspoons of the ground caraway seeds. Stir well. We're observing time starting from this point. Let the meat sear all over, occasionally stirring so that nothing burns. Add about half a cup of water and the finely chopped garlic or garlic powder. At this point it should be fairly low hydration, such that things, mostly the onions at this point, stick slightly to the bottom, disintegrate/dissolve when stirred (stir frequently while going high heat and low hydration!) and get incorporated into the sauce when you add the next batch of water. Add small batches of water, a quarter to half a cup as needed, but careful not to over-dilute it or the dissolution stops. In case you're not completely confident with the process, reduce the heat to make sure nothing burns. Whenever you add water, you want to end up with the consistency of a stew. Keep reducing and adding new batches of water until your onion is mostly gone. If you're lucky or just happen get things spot on, the dissolution might be all done by the third time you add a batch of water, sometimes even sooner. In that case, mix in a tablespoon or two of the Hungarian paprika powder, and then add enough water to cover the whole thing, bring the heat down to a simmer and wait for at least the 90 minute mark to pass, two full hours is even better. If turning most of your onions into stew takes a little longer, just give it some extra work. Meanwhile you can clean and cut up your root vegetables, they're coming into play next. After 90-120 minutes, toss them in, add enough water to cover and give it a stir. From now on, whenever you add a new ingredient, pour in just enough extra water, as needed, to have it all submerged. You're about an hour from being done, keep this in mind for time management purposes. The potatoes and dumplings have to be aligned with the end of the cooking. I'd suggest you start making the dough for the dumplings now (or before you start and have it waiting in the fridge). Just thoroughly knead the flour with the egg and a large pinch of salt. Add some water if needed to be workable. The consistency should be about the same or slightly harder than the usual homemade pasta dough. About half an hour after adding the carrots, give the soup a taste. Add more salt, garlic and caraway as needed. The taste of the caraway seeds should be noticable, but not overwhelming. You should also notice the flavor of the root veggies by now. This is the moment to add a hint of sugar if the carrots are not exactly sweet enough, just don't overdo it. Keep tasting and adjusting until satisfactory. If using fresh garlic, you'll have to do this in parallel with chopping up your potatoes, because fresh garlic needs to simmer for a little while to take full effect. In this case, taste and adjust every couple of minutes until satisfied. By the time you're done adjusting, you'll have a good idea of what this thing tastes like when done and probably a feeling of utter impatience wanting to dig in. You'll need the potatoes ready by about 40 minutes after you added the roots. The potatoes, diced to about half an inch to an inch go in, along with extra water and a little salt for the last 20 minutes. At some point in the next 10 minutes, I'd suggest you taste one more time and add salt if needed, as potatoes can throw this aspect off. Keep in mind you have about 10 more minutes left till the potatoes are done, after which they can fall apart and screw things up. At about 10 minutes before the finish line, start picking apart the dough with your hands, making half an inch or so dumplings and drop them into the soup. Wait for those last ten minutes to pass by, cut the heat, and all you have to do is serve with a huge loaf of bread for dunking in. The liquid will be mostly opaque and very rich, and will probably thicken up when cooled down to room temperature, but if that happens, just reheat it and add a little water if needed. Hopefully I didn't miss anything. Routine makes it so that I usually don't think through the process in detail, just do my stuff from basically muscle memory. Enjoy!

Yes it's the national dish, but there's not a "perfect" way to make it, the herders who cared for the cattle put what they had on themselves at the time, and so do many people today. Some people put in certain vegetables and some didn't. Arguing over if it's thicker or not is another thing that comes with using certain ingredients as it's bound to become thicker with the collagen from the beef and the starch from ingredients like potatos. As long as it has consists of the required basic ingredients i don't think it really matters. There are different types like Szegedi/Székely Gulyás or Babgulyás (Bean goulash) too, but they are not the same. What matters is you make it how you like it as long as you stick to the basics and don't go in a too different way like with "american goulash" as that one can hardly be called a Gulyás recipe.

I don’t like Orban, but I love the Hungarians and Goulash is fantastic. I’ve been meaning to make some for years and today is the day. Respect to Hungary and respect to DW. Proud to be European.
