  • A traditional dish from Transylvania - Gulyas

    Originally from Hungary - also called Goulash or Paprikas, this spicy vegetable and meat (chicken or beef) fire slow-cooked stew is very popular in the region because of its unique taste. Austrians and Romanians and others have their own interpretation of this recipe but one thing is sure - it's always delicious!
