Recipe Tips

• Soak Beans Properly: If using dried beans, soak them overnight or for at least 8 hours to ensure they cook evenly and become tender.
• Finely Chop Onion and Garlic: For the best flavor, chop the onion and garlic as finely as possible to help them blend smoothly into the stew.
• Cook Spices Well: Make sure to cook the paprika, caraway seeds, and cayenne pepper for a full minute to release their flavors and add depth to the goulash.
• Check Bean Tenderness: Test the beans and vegetables for tenderness before serving. They should be soft but not mushy. If needed, cook a bit longer.
• Adjust Seasoning: Taste the goulash before serving and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if necessary to enhance the overall flavor.
