Ingredients

1 pound sausages e. g., Polish sausage
1 pound potatoes about 4-5 pieces, e. g., Yukon Gold
3 medium onions peeled and chopped
2 cloves garlic peeled and minced
2 Tablespoons pork lard (or canola / sunflower oil)

1 Tablespoon sweet ground paprika Hungarian-style
1 teaspoon ground caraway seeds
¼ cup all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon ground pepper

Cups - Metric

Instructions

Peel 1 pound potatoes and cut them into 1-inch (2.5 cm) cubes. Peel 1 pound sausages (if necessary), then cut them into 1.5 cm (2.5 cm) cubes, about the same size as the diced potatoes.
Roughly chop 3 medium onions. Peel and finely mince or press 2 cloves garlic.
Heat 2 Tablespoons pork lard in a pot over medium-high heat, add the onions, and fry them, stirring frequently, until they are slightly golden. Add 1 teaspoon ground caraway seeds and sausages to the pot. Sauté for 2 minutes.
Sprinkle the mixture with ¼ cup all-purpose flour and fry for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add the cubed potatoes, garlic, and 1 Tablespoon sweet ground paprika, and sauté for 1 minute.
Pour in chicken broth until the potatoes and sausage are just submerged, but no more. Otherwise, the goulash will be thin and resemble a soup. Stir well, bring to a boil.
Reduce the heat to a minimum, cover with a lid, and cook, stirring occasionally, for 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes soften.
As the final step, season with ½ teaspoon ground pepper and salt to taste.

Notes

The basic recipe makes 4 yields.
Serve this sausage goulash warm with fresh bread. Sprinkle with chopped green parsley before serving.
The amount of salt for the final seasoning depends on the saltiness of the chicken broth used. Adjust accordingly to taste.
As with most goulashes, this dish tastes even better the next day, when the flavors have had time to develop further.
If you add more potatoes to the Buřtguláš, you don't need any other side dish; you can enjoy it on its own.
The Buřtguláš includes crushed caraway seeds. According to some recipes, dried marjoram is also added, so feel free to give it a try.
