Segedínský Guláš

Ingredients

• 2 pounds pork shoulder
• 1 jar (about 30 ounces) sauerkraut
• 2 medium onion
• 2 tablespoons paprika
• 1 teaspoon caraway seeds
• 4 cloves garlic
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 cups beef broth
• 2 leaves bay leaves
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 8 pieces bread dumplings
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Instructions

1. 1

   Begin by preparing the pork shoulder. Cut it into 1-inch cubes and season with salt and black pepper.

2. 2

   In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the cubed pork and brown it on all sides, about 8-10 minutes.

3. 3

   While the pork is browning, finely chop the onions and garlic. Once the pork is browned, add the chopped onions to the pot and sauté until they are translucent, about 5 minutes.

4. 4

   Add the minced garlic, paprika, and caraway seeds to the pot. Stir well and cook for an additional 2 minutes to release the spices' flavors.

5. 5

   Pour in the beef broth and add the sauerkraut along with the bay leaves. Stir to combine all ingredients, then bring the mixture to a simmer.

6. 6

   Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 1 hour. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

7. 7

   While the guláš is simmering, prepare the bread dumplings according to package instructions.

8. 8

   After 1 hour, check the pork for tenderness. If it is fork-tender, remove the bay leaves and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.

9. 9

   To serve, place a generous scoop of guláš in a bowl, add bread dumplings on the side, and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
