# Ingredients You'll Need:

→ Vegetables

01 - 1 medium head cabbage, chopped into bite-sized pieces
02 - 2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
03 - 1 large onion, finely chopped
04 - 3 cloves garlic, minced

→ Meat

05 - 350 g smoked sausages or spicy chorizo, sliced into 1 cm rounds

→ Spices and Seasonings

06 - 2 tablespoons Hungarian sweet paprika
07 - 0.5 teaspoon caraway seeds
08 - Salt, to taste
09 - Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

→ Other

10 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
11 - 800 ml vegetable broth or chicken stock
12 - Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

# Step-by-Step Instructions:

01 - Chop the cabbage into bite-sized pieces. Peel and dice the potatoes. Slice the sausages into 1-centimetre rounds. Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic.
02 - In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced sausages and cook until browned on both sides, then remove and set aside.
03 - In the same pot, add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
04 - Add the paprika and caraway seeds, coating the onions and garlic. Incorporate the chopped cabbage and diced potatoes, stirring to combine evenly.
05 - Pour in the broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer, return the browned sausages to the pot, and season with salt and pepper.
06 - Cover and let simmer for 30–40 minutes or until the potatoes and cabbage are tender and the flavours meld.
07 - Ladle the goulash into bowls, garnish with fresh chopped parsley, and serve hot. Ideal as a main course alongside crusty bread or a green salad.

# Extra Tips and Tricks:

01 - For a spicier goulash, incorporate a small amount of hot paprika or sliced chili with the sausage.
02 - The dish benefits from resting for several minutes before serving, allowing its flavours to deepen.
