📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Kotlíkový guláš means 'cauldron goulash,' a Slovak stew made in a large pot (kotlík) hung over a wood fire in the yard or outdoors. Beef or pork, onion, and potatoes are simmered with plenty of paprika and eaten like a soup. Traditionally, the men spend hours making it at village festivals and family gatherings.

🌆 Where it's eaten: On a summer evening in a Slovak village yard, a black cauldron hangs over a wood fire as men stir with long wooden paddles, beer in hand.
