Whether as a hearty lunch with the family or a cozy dinner with friends, Szeged goulash warms your body and soul, spoon by spoon.
When Hungarian cuisine is served, one hearty delicacy follows the other.
In traditional recipes, calories are ignored; after all, the taste of the hearty dishes is much more important.
It's not just when you visit Budapest that you can enjoy paprika chicken, langos, fish soup and of course goulash.

Goulash, which is served in Hungary under the name “Pörkölt”, became the national dish of the landlocked country many years ago.
The classic is prepared as a braised dish or as a Hungarian goulash soup with beef, veal or pork and refined with onions, garlic and peppers, among other things.
If you add sauerkraut and a little sour cream, the usual goulash turns into Szeged goulash.
It is not entirely clear whether the stew comes from the Hungarian city of Szeged or was invented by the writer Székely, but it is definitely delicious.
In contrast to the classic goulash, the Szeged goulash is refined with sauerkraut and sour cream.
