How to make it
0/10Few things warm you better after a long day on your feet than a pot of goulash that has been left to simmer. This dish comes from the Hungarian plains, where herders cooked it over open fire, and it still suits life on the trail perfectly. The recipe makes about four servings.
Tips for the trail
Goulash is a patient dish that rewards anyone who gives it time. It looks after itself over low heat while you pitch the tent or rest your feet. Brown the meat thoroughly from the start, because that is where the deep flavour is built. If you only have one pot, you can prep the onion and garlic at home to save time on the ground. The dish tastes almost better the next day, so make an extra portion for lunch on the following stage.
