Notes

Variations:
  • Use diced chicken, beef or lamb instead of pork. You may need to extend the cooking time accordingly.
  • Add a bay leaf for extra flavour.
  • Make the goulash in a slow cooker. Reduce the stock to 200ml and the passata to 200ml.
  • Add leftover roast pork to the goulash, instead of using fresh diced pork. Add it to the pan 10 minutes from the end of cooking to warm through.
 
Storage:
Store: leftover goulash can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Reheat: reheat the goulash in the microwave until piping hot. Alternatively, return it to a pan on the hob and heat until hot.
Freeze: cool leftovers and place them in a freezer-safe container then freeze for up to 3 months. Defrost in the fridge before reheating in the microwave.
