Note

For the vegetarian version, substitute the pork fillet with 2 large courgettes (zucchini), diced into 1-inch chunks. You can also use a mix of beans, such as kidney beans and butter beans, for added texture.

Ensure the pork fillet is trimmed of excess fat and cut into bite-sized cubes for even cooking. If using frozen beans, thaw them completely before adding to the pot.

This goulash pairs beautifully with crusty sourdough bread, mashed potatoes, or a simple green salad. For extra richness, serve with a dollop of sour cream or yogurt.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop, adding a splash of water if the sauce has thickened too much.
