📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Gulyás began as a dish cooked by cattle herders in great outdoor kettles on the Hungarian plain, and it took on its red color in the 19th century as paprika spread. Beef, onion, and potatoes are simmered with lots of paprika and seasoned with caraway. It's the root of the word 'goulash' in other languages and truly Hungary's national dish.

🌆 Where it's eaten: On a cold winter day, the family warms up around a big pot of goulash with bread.
