Vitana is the leading sauce maker in the Czech Republic, so you can trust their sauce mix will help you make great-tasting goulash. Just sprinkle the mix over 500g of cubed beef, pork or poultry before browning the meat, adding 500-600ml of water, and cooking for at least 55 minutes.
Cooking tips
Long, slow cooking is key, so the meat becomes tender and infused with flavour while the gravy develops its delicious richness. You can use cheaper cuts as they are more flavourful, or use the mix to add a peppery tang to potato stew, bean soup or pepper sauce. Serve your goulash with rice, boiled potatoes or crusty bread on the side.
The origins of goulash
Goulash is a soup or stew of meat, noodles and vegetables, seasoned with paprika and other spices. Originating within the historical Hungarian ethnic area, goulash is also a popular meal in Central Europe, Scandinavia and Southern Europe — its origin traces back to the 9th century, and the word comes from the Hungarian “Gulyás”, meaning herdsman.
