Hungarian beef goulash pancakes
Although named 'Goulash', the filling is actually a thick stew (Pörkölt). Authentic Goulash is a soup, which wouldn't stay inside a pancake. This dish is a concentrate of classic Hungarian flavours: slow-cooked beef, caramelised onions, and paprika meeting soft dough. The stew's juices permeate the pancake, delivering an authentic experience in every bite.

Instructions
1
✓
Sauté the finely chopped onion in oil until translucent.
Tip: Take your time, the onion gives the sauce its body.
2
✓
Remove from heat, stir in the paprika, then add the meat and tomato purée. Sear briefly, then pour in just enough water to cover.
Tip: Do not burn the paprika, or it will become bitter. Its colour and flavour dissolve in fat.
3
✓
Season with salt, pepper, caraway, and crushed garlic. Simmer covered on low heat until tender (approx. 1-1.5 hours).
Tip: Beef needs time to soften. If the liquid evaporates, replenish it, but you should end up with a thick sauce.

✓
Meanwhile, fry the pancakes in the usual way.

✓
When the meat is tender, fill the pancakes with the stew. Serve with sour cream and parsley.
