Pork goulash in a slow cooker

Pork Goulash in the Slow Cooker

Tender meat in a sweet-and-sour gravy that both grown-ups and kids adore. This recipe has been in our family for several years. I tried plenty of versions over time, but this one turned out to be the best. The flavor is always spot-on—the meat comes out soft and sweet-tart, and everyone reaches for seconds. Best of all, there's plenty of that thick, delicious gravy to go around! :)

Cooking method

Step 1:

Here's what you'll need. Set the slow cooker to the Sauté setting ahead of time, pour in 2–3 tablespoons of vegetable oil, and let it heat up.
Step 2:

Meanwhile, rinse the pork well, trim off any silverskin and sinew, and cut away excess fat. Cut the meat into pieces about 1 inch (2–3 cm).
Step 3:

Add the prepared meat to the heated oil in the slow cooker, sprinkle with paprika, and squeeze over the juice of 1/3 of the lemon. Add any favorite spices if you like. Stir the meat from time to time.
Step 4:

Peel the onions. Cut them however you like—into quarter-rings or strips. I prefer a dice.
Step 5:

Add the onion to the meat and stir.
Step 6:

Once the onion is lightly browned, sprinkle in the flour.
Step 7:

Stir everything thoroughly and cook briefly to toast the flour.
Step 8:

Pour in the water. It should be very hot.
Step 9:

Season with salt and stir.
Step 10:

Close the lid and set the Stew setting for 45 minutes to an hour. The meat won't suffer from longer cooking, so if you have the time, feel free to stew it for up to 2 hours.
Step 11:

When the program finishes, stir in the tomato paste.
Step 12:

Pour in the cream and stir.
Step 13:

Leave it on the Keep Warm setting for another 10–15 minutes. And that's it—the dish is ready to serve.
