It’s Fun to Say Goulash!

Standard

I had grand plans this week of a decedent Indian curry with lashings of Tarragon and saffron and fresh chicken and then I realised that I’m a student and don’t crap money so settled on a Goulash. It’s cheap and flavour full but mostly because it’s fun to say Goulash.

I took a recipe buuuut I pretty much ignored most of it so it would be pointless to share it. I took a pork loin and trimmed the fat off and cut into cubes which was quite time consuming but it saved so much money on the meat to do it myself rather than buy pork loin steaks to do the exact same thing. I used a shit load of paprika, some cinnamon, chilli powder, mixed herbs and parsley and marinated the pork for about half an hour. Fry it with an onion, until it’s browned, chuck in a tin and a half of chopped tomatoes let it reduce down a bit then add a couple of tins of new potatoes (or fresh if you have that thing I hear about called money). Then just leave to simmer until it tastes right and the porks cooked 🙂 really simple.
I wouldn’t add any salt until the end as the pork really is quite salty so there is a danger of over salting it which I nearly did.

But yeah it tasted great really rich and exciting considering how simple and cheap it was to make. I serve it with rice and natural yoghurt just to make it more substantial as there really isn’t that many calories in it upon my, probably vastly inaccurate calculations. I call it optimism.
GOOOOOUUUUUULLLLLASH! It really is fun.
