About this recipe

Goulash with sauerkraut - a dish that evokes memories. My grandma always prepared it in a large stew pot on the stove, the scent filled the whole house. It was a meal for cold winter days, a feast after a long walk in the snow. This recipe is a tribute to her culinary skills, adapted to the modern kitchen with the Thermomix®. The secret to a good goulash lies in the quality of the ingredients. The pork goulash, ideally a mixture of shoulder and neck, should be well marbled. The fat provides flavor and keeps the meat juicy. The onions form the basis for the sauce and give sweetness, while the garlic adds a spicy note. The sauerkraut, whether from a jar or can, brings the characteristic acidity into play, which makes the goulash so special. Sweet paprika powder provides the typical color and a mild aroma, caraway supports digestion and the bay leaves add a subtle spice. The meat broth is the basis for the sauce and the sour cream rounds off the dish and makes it creamy. The preparation in the Thermomix® makes the preparation much easier. Chopping onions and garlic is lightning fast and sautéing in the mixing bowl saves time and washing up. However, the meat is fried in a separate pan or roasting pan to create roasted aromas that are essential for the taste. Make sure to sear the meat in portions so that it does not boil, but really browns. After searing, everything is combined in the roasting pan and gently braised in the Thermomix®. The long braising time is important so that the meat becomes tender. For a vegetarian version, the meat can be replaced with smoked tofu or soy goulash. Use vegetable broth instead of meat broth. For a vegan version, replace the sour cream with a plant-based alternative, such as cashew cream. Also experiment with other spices: juniper berries, marjoram or thyme go perfectly with the goulash. Serve the goulash with boiled potatoes, potato dumplings, spaetzle or simply with fresh bread for dipping the sauce. A dollop of sour cream or a spoonful of fresh yogurt also go well with it. A green salad or coleslaw is a suitable side dish. The goulash can be prepared well in advance and tastes even better the next day. It can be kept in the refrigerator for several days. You can also freeze it in portions. Simply reheat before serving and, if necessary, dilute with some broth or water.
