Hungarian Goulash, also known as "gulyás" in Hungary, is a traditional stew that originated in the 9th century. This hearty dish was popular among Hungarian herdsmen, who would slow-cook seasoned meat with onions and paprika in a kettle over an open fire. The resulting rich and flavorful stew became a staple in Hungarian cuisine. Today, Hungarian Goulash is enjoyed worldwide and is often made with tender beef, onions, bell peppers, and a generous amount of Hungarian paprika. Chefs like Károly Gundel and restaurants in Budapest, such as the iconic Gundel, have elevated the dish, adding their own unique twists. For an authentic experience, visit Budapest to savor the best version of this iconic dish.
