Not trying to be rude, but some things are non-negotiable… The original Hungarian Gulyás is a SOUP. Case closed. ❤️ With love 🤍

2. Heat 1 tbsp goose fat + 2 tbsp oil in a big pot. (You can use oil only.)

3. Add 🧅 onions + a pinch of salt, sauté until translucent.

4. Add 🌶 paprika, 🍅 tomatoes, 🧄 garlic. Cook 10 mins.

5. Add 2 tbsp sweet smoked paprika powder (turn off heat briefly so it doesn’t burn).

6. Add 🥩 meat + salt, pepper, cumin. Brown on medium-high heat until sealed.

7. Add a splash of water, stir, cover, and cook on low for at least 2 hours (adding water as needed).

8. When the meat is halfway tender, add all chopped veggies + celeriac leaves. Add water to cover generously. Season to taste.
