We’ve always known what a goulash is. However, our trip to Budapest and Prague in 2012 redefined what we knew as a good goulash. It’s a bowl of warm creamy comfort that ignites every happy nerve in our body.
Inspired by our experiences in those cities, we sought to make a goulash back home. Below is the recipe that we have come up with. It’s not perfect, but it’ll do. 😉
