Pork goulash with gravy is a fragrant dish of Hungarian cuisine, known for its rich flavor and thick, spicy sauce. Historically, goulash was a traditional food of Hungarian shepherds cooked in a cauldron over an open fire. The classic recipe uses beef, but the pork version is more tender and juicy. Tomatoes and spices add depth to the sauce, while garlic and paprika reveal bright spicy notes. Goulash pairs wonderfully with rice or potatoes, infusing them with its rich aroma. It’s the perfect dish for a cozy home dinner that warms and provides a sense of fullness. Serve hot with fresh herbs for added aroma.
