donpapa's brewery goulash special

Ingredients for 4 servings:

• 1 large onion(s)
• 1 clove(s) garlic
• 2 tbsp clarified butter
• 500 g pork goulash (ham goulash)
• salt and pepper
• 1 tsp smoked paprika powder
• 1 tbsp tomato paste
• 1 can of beer, Mexican (e.g. Corona) or your choice
• 50 g dark chocolate
• 500 ml vegetable stock
• 1 cup crème fraîche

Instructions

Working time approx. 10 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 1 hour 20 minutes; Total time approx. 1 hour 30 minutes

Quarter the onion and dice the garlic. Melt the clarified butter in a roasting pan (or saucepan) and sear the meat until nicely browned all over. Season with pepper, salt, and add the smoked paprika. Now add the onions and let them become translucent. Add the tomato paste and let it roast, stirring. Deglaze with the beer and bring to a boil, then break up the chocolate and add it. Once the chocolate has melted, add the vegetable stock. Simmer and reduce for one hour, stirring occasionally. Tip: I always put the lid on while reducing so that steam can escape. Be careful, stay there, because the chocolate tends to stick a bit, so keep stirring constantly. After one hour, add the crème fraîche and serve. Serve with red cabbage and bread dumplings.
