What inspired me:

I was inspired to create this vegan version of Hungarian Goulash when I enjoyed a humble meal on the banks of the Danube. As a non-vegan at the time, I was blown away by the flavours and textures of the dish. But once I turned vegan, I was determined to recreate it in a way that would satisfy my new dietary needs.

Recipe Highlights:
  • Nourishing and comforting: This stew is packed with slow-cooked goodness, making it the perfect meal for any time of day
  • Vegan and hearty: Made with a rich broth, paprika, bay leaves, thyme, and sauerkraut, this dish is a true vegan delight
  • Easy to make: Simply simmer the ingredients together, and let the flavours meld together for a truly satisfying meal
  • Perfect for batch cooking: This stew is ideal for making a big batch, and serving it throughout the week
