Ingredients

  • 1 pound sausages e. g., Polish sausage
  • 1 pound potatoes about 4-5 pieces, e. g., Yukon Gold
  • 3 medium onions peeled and chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic peeled and minced
  • 2 Tablespoons pork lard (or canola / sunflower oil)
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 1 Tablespoon sweet ground paprika Hungarian-style
  • 1 teaspoon ground caraway seeds
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon ground pepper
  • salt

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Peel 1 pound potatoes and cut them into 1-inch (2.5 cm) cubes. Peel 1 pound sausages (if necessary), then cut them into 1.5 cm (2.5 cm) cubes, about the same size as the diced potatoes.
  2. Roughly chop 3 medium onions. Peel and finely mince or press 2 cloves garlic.
  3. Heat 2 Tablespoons pork lard in a pot over medium-high heat, add the onions, and fry them, stirring frequently, until they are slightly golden. Add 1 teaspoon ground caraway seeds and sausages to the pot. Sauté for 2 minutes.
  4. Sprinkle the mixture with ¼ cup all-purpose flour and fry for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add the cubed potatoes, garlic, and 1 Tablespoon sweet ground paprika, and sauté for 1 minute.
  5. Pour in chicken broth until the potatoes and sausage are just submerged, but no more. Otherwise, the goulash will be thin and resemble a soup. Stir well, bring to a boil.
  6. Reduce the heat to a minimum, cover with a lid, and cook, stirring occasionally, for 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes soften.
  7. As the final step, season with ½ teaspoon ground pepper and salt to taste.

Notes

  • The basic recipe makes 4 yields.
  • Serve this sausage goulash warm with fresh bread. Sprinkle with chopped green parsley before serving.
  • The amount of salt for the final seasoning depends on the saltiness of the chicken broth used. Adjust accordingly to taste.
  • As with most goulashes, this dish tastes even better the next day, when the flavors have had time to develop further.
  • If you add more potatoes to the Buřtguláš, you don't need any other side dish; you can enjoy it on its own.
  • The Buřtguláš includes crushed caraway seeds. According to some recipes, dried marjoram is also added, so feel free to give it a try.
