Ingredients
- 1 lb (450g) pork shoulder or pork stew meat, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 medium carrots, sliced
- 1 bell pepper, chopped (optional)
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon paprika (sweet or smoked)
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 cups beef or vegetable broth
- 1 bay leaf
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Sauté the Meat: In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the pork pieces and brown them on all sides. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
- Add Vegetables: Once the pork is browned, add the chopped onion, minced garlic, sliced carrots, and bell pepper (if using). Sauté for another 5 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.
- Incorporate Flavors: Stir in the tomato paste, paprika, thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to allow the spices to release their flavors.
- Add Broth: Pour in the broth and add the bay leaf. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it simmer for about 30-40 minutes, or until the pork is tender.
- Adjust Seasoning: Taste the goulash and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed. If the sauce is too thick, you can add a little more broth or water to reach your desired consistency.
- Serve: Remove the bay leaf before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley and enjoy your Lithuanian Pork Goulash with crusty bread, boiled potatoes, or over rice.
Enjoy this comforting and delicious Lithuanian Pork Goulash, perfect for a cozy dinner.
