Pork goulash

20 minutes
Pork goulash is a tender, aromatic dish with a deep history. Although goulash is traditionally associated with Hungarian cuisine, this version is an author's interpretation where the softness of pork ham combines with the spiciness of sumac and a hint of chili heat. Sour cream adds creamy tenderness to the goulash, while tomato paste contributes a pleasant tang that balances the flavor. The mustard and oil dressing makes the meat rich and piquant. Onions and garlic bring sweet and pungent notes, while fresh dill adds the finishing touch. This dish is perfect for a home dinner, especially when served with a side – such as mashed potatoes or fresh bread that will soak up all its juiciness and rich aromas.
