Description

This venison goulash is an absolute highlight for the cold season! I've been making it for years and it's always a hit. The tender venison, the aromatic sauce and the homemade Spätzle are simply an unbeatable combination. The preparation takes a little while, but the effort is definitely worth it. Perfect for a festive meal with family and friends. The goulash can also be prepared well in advance and tastes almost even better when reheated. A hearty dish that warms body and soul!
