Hearty Black Beer Goulash
200—240 Min
No dish makes you think of Hungary more than goulash — and this is thanks in no small part to the use of its star spice, paprika. In our recipe, we add a twist to the Hungarian national dish with some black beer. The result? A dish full of slightly bitter, malty and fruity nuances.
