“Goulash is a stew of meat and vegetables usually seasoned with paprika and other spices. Originating from medieval Hungary, Goulash is a popular meal predominantly eaten in Central Europe but also in other parts of Europe. It is one of the national dishes of Hungary and a symbol of the country.” - Wikipdia
I used to eat Goulash before I went keto. Of course, it is usually served over noodles or with potatoes in the stew itself, and always with bread and butter. So, naturally, I hadn’t had it until I served some up over bZoodles and fell in love all over again.
