Gulyás or Goulash?

Both of the terms are correct. In English, it is called Goulash but in Hungarian, the term gulyás is correct.

The word comes from the term ‘gulya’, which in Hungarian means ‘herd of cattle’ and ‘gulyás’ means cowboy or a person who takes care of cattle. Therefore, this term refers now also to the food that was prepared by herdsmen.

There are many recipes that herdsmen make. Goulash is referred to in Hungarian also as Gulyásleves which means goulash soup. But this food can also be prepared like a stew. It all depends on how you like it. If you go to a Hungarian restaurant, you usually are able to choose between the different types.

What are the goulash ingredients?

Goulas was originally made with beef or veal. However, throughout the years, people started to prepare it also using lamb or pork. Some recipes also require a mixture of two kinds of meat. Besides meat, you need to use a lot of onions, garlic, and vegetables like carrots, peppers, potatoes, and parsley root.

Paprika, a powder made of dried peppers, is one of the main ingredients of this dish. Bobgulyás is a variety of goulash that instead of potatoes uses beans and it is very popular among Hungarian cuisine.
