Sweet paprika spice

Sprinkle in the sweet paprika and stir once.
Preparation step 3 
Szeged goulash approach meat with onions.

Admit meat
Add the meat (for the exception of chicken, see item 3).
A notice:
Goulash approach is usually prepared without tomato paste.
For a stronger taste you can add 1 tsp tomato paste.
Preparation step 4 
boiled sauerkraut

Add sauerkraut
Immediately deglaze with the broth, add the sauerkraut and stir.
Preparation step 5 
Peel fresh garlic and finely dice the cloves

Prepare garlic
Add finely chopped garlic.
Preparation step 6 
cook goulash

Stewing goulash
Add the spices and cover the casserole over a moderate heat for 45-90 minutes, depending on the type of meat.
Add liquid as needed.
Preparation step 7 
Boiled potatoes in a pan with parsley.

Side dishes
Peel potatoes, cut in half, boil in salted water.
Drain potatoes and toss in butter.
Refine with salt, pepper and freshly chopped parsley.
Prepare an accompaniment for serving.
Preparation step 8 
Mixing cornstarch to bind.

Tie goulash
Mix the cornstarch with a little water, bring to the boil, stir in the sour cream, let it simmer and thicken with the cornstarch to taste.
I always add a little starch water first, after boiling I can see whether the binding is sufficient.
Simmer for another 10 minutes to dissipate the starchy taste.

Preparation tip from chef Thomas Sixt

4. Prepare Szegediner with Beef Meat
For the cabbage stew with beef you need meat from the calf (wad ham).
Meat from the topside is also excellent and lean.
Have the butcher cut the meat, approx. 3 cm cubes are ideal.
Cooking time with beef: About 2 hours.
Preparation tip from chef Thomas Sixt

5. Prepare Szegediner with Chicken Meat
First prepare the Gujasch without meat.
If you are satisfied with the goulash juice and the consistency of the sauerkraut, add the chicken breast pieces cut into 3 cm cubes.
Stir the stew, bring to the boil and gently simmer until the poultry is done.
You can conjure up goulash with chicken on the table in about 45 minutes.
