Potato Pepper Chorizo Goulash
Oh, how I love hearty meals. Even in Spring and Summer, I like to cook comforting dinners that warm my heart and satisfy my belly. One of the dishes I always devoured as a child was a flavourful bowl of goulash. One of them was potato goulash which my grandma and mum often made as a make-ahead lunch or dinner when I was younger.
Traditionally an Austrian potato goulash is made with a local smoked sausage called “Dürre” next to potatoes and the usual spices. After rediscovering the dish a couple of years ago, I started experimenting with it. The result is this spicy and flavourful goulash made with potatoes, colourful peppers and spicy chorizo to give it a smoky spin.
Quick and easy to prepare, this Potato Pepper Chorizo Goulash is ideal for serving a crowd or meal prep for the week. You can also freeze this goulash in portions to have on hand when the hunger strikes.
Tips and substitutions for this Potato Pepper Chorizo Goulash
-
Chop all the ingredients and get the spices ready first for a smoother cooking process with no stress.
-
Use waxy potatoes as they keep their form and don’t crumble when cooked.
-
You can make this vegan by substituting the chorizo with smoked tofu. Use it the same way in the goulash as you would the chorizo and you have a comforting plant-based meal. Although equally as good, the smoky flavour slightly changes when using the soy-based option.
-
When not eaten right away, store in an airtight container and put in the refrigerator for up to three days or freeze.
