HUNGARIAN SZéKELY GULYáS

• In a large dutch oven heat 2 tablespoons of pork lard and fry the bacon pieces until crisp. Remove the bacon pieces and add the chopped onions and let them soften for 5minutes.
• Now remove the pot from the heat and stir in the paprika powder. Continue stiring until it is all combined. Add all of the pork pieces and 1 cup of the beef broth and bring to a quick boil. Then reduce the heat right away to a simmer and cover the pot and let cook for 30minutes. Make sure to check occasionally and add more beef broth if necessary.

Add the cut up Kielbasa pieces or other smoked sausages or cooked and smoked ribs you have and stir together. Season with salt and pepper and the carraway seeds. Add 2 more cups of beef broth, cover the pot and simmer for another 15min.

SEGEDíNSKý GULáš - CZECH SZEGEDIN GOULASH

Steps:

• Before you start cooking: Cut the pork into 1-inch pieces. Peel onions and chop them finely. Peel a clove of garlic and press it. Cut bacon into small ¼-inch dices. Strain the sauerkraut (do not rinse it!) and cut it into bite-size pieces.
• In a pot with a thick bottom (I use one of my beloved dutch ovens), melt half of the lard over medium heat. Add diced bacon and render; it takes about 3-5 minutes. Stir occasionally. Set the rendered bacon aside, use a slotted spoon.
• Place the rest of the lard in the same pot, sprinkle with crushed caraway seeds. Stir. Add chopped onions and sauté them until slightly golden while stirring.
• Turn up the heat, add pork and sear the meat for 3 minutes, stirring frequently.
• Reduce heat to medium, dust with sweet ground paprika. Add pressed garlic. Fry for 1 minute while stirring.
• Add flour and fry for a further 1 minute. Stir well.
• Salt the base for segedín, pour in the water or beef broth that the pork is covered. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a minimum, cover with a lid and let it simmer for 30 minutes.
• Only now add fried bacon, sauerkraut, and let it cook for additional 30 minutes, or until the pork is tender. Stir occasionally.
• As the final step, add sour cream, don't cook anymore.
• Just stir well, salt to your liking, and Szegedin goulash is done!
