Czech-style goulash
Description
The Czechs borrowed the recipe from the Hungarians, made a few changes, and ended up with a very tasty dish. This simple Czech-style goulash recipe will allow you to prepare a delicious and filling lunch, or even dinner for someone particularly hungry. Porridge or potatoes make good side dishes for this goulash. But the Czechs would recommend preparing dumplings (knedle). That way, you'll have an authentic Czech meal. Here's how to make Czech-style goulash.
