Homemade pork goulash is a hearty and aromatic dish of Russian cuisine that is perfect for a family dinner. Its roots trace back to European stewed meat traditions but gained its unique flavor with the addition of special spices. Tender pieces of pork are fried to a golden crust and then simmered with onions, spices, and tomato sauce, acquiring a rich and spicy taste. Bay leaves and pepper add depth to the dish while parsley refreshes its aroma. Goulash pairs excellently with mashed potatoes, buckwheat, or pasta, creating a complete and warming meal. Its thick gravy makes each serving especially appetizing, awakening the desire to try more. This is a classic of home cooking that brings comfort and enjoyment in every bite!
