My Grandfather and uncles all come from Hungary and they always add one single tomato to their goulash that cooks down into the broth and on occasion add a rantas (spiced flour mixture) to thicken it but more often than not the potatoes are sufficient. I never understood when people who claim to know Hungarian food claim that using tomatoes and rantas isn’t authentic Hungarian cooking, this never made sense to me as my family is very traditional in its Hungarian heritage.

Just wanted to tell you that I have made this twice now and it is absolutely delicious! My mother is German, and this is a very close match to hers. So glad I found this recipe.

Jacki – thanks for trying our recipe and please do let us know what you think. Like many national dishes (or in this case international dishes since it has been adopted as a local dish throughout central Europe), there are countless variations on the main theme, so it’s entirely possible our recipe doesn’t match your grandmother’s exactly, but it is delicious, and that, as with any dish, is the main thing!

My Nanny (grandmother)was straight out of the old country and made the most delicious Hungarian goulash ever. The last time I had it was at 15 years old before she became too ill to go down to her ‘downstairs’ kitchen. I remember very little about it except that I was crazy about it and we sopped it up with a lot of bread. Unfortunately, she died without leaving the recipe behind so I am hunting for something I barely remember. I am at the simmering point of your recipe right this very minute and will let you know! I admit, I didn’t recall there being so many onions. We shall see. The true test will be to make it for my father!

Amy,

I was having Hungarians for a meal. I researched recipes for several days, settled on this one. (Added several cut up carrots and parsnips, omitted potatoes. I made potato dumplings and ladled goulash on those. It was excellent and the guests were thrillled and delighted. Thank you!

Looks really good! I’ve never made goulash – but this recipe looks easy enough for me.
