This well-known dish has its roots in Hungary. The most common given history for the dish is that it was developed from a beef soup named after the herdsman in Hungary (the Magyar). Beef was cooked and dried out, to provide a portable ingredient. It was then boiled up in water to provide a simple stew. Today, the dish has many variation. Most common is the inclusion of Hungarian paprika and potatoes and some include spaetzels. Although this dish most commonly uses beef, it could also be made with chicken or other meat - and why not a vegan/vegetarian version?
There is an interesting article here which compares various Chef’s recipes and includes a final tested recipe. I will also post a simple recipe for Goulash below.
