Bean goulash
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. Aromatic bób gulyás is a thick soup invented by Hungarian cooks. It is one of the main dishes of Hungarian cuisine. There are several variations of this soup: with beans and versions with potatoes. I suggest preparing the classic version of the soup, which includes meat broth and the main ingredients—plenty of beans, paprika, and smoked meats. You can use any meat, and smoked ingredients are also up to your preference. I chose smoked pork ribs. It's also said that without cumin, bób gulyás isn't truly Hungarian. And of course, csipetke—small pieces of dough similar to dumplings. An incredibly delicious dish. The finished dish is ready to be served.
