Ingredients

• 2 pounds pork shoulder (cut into 1-inch cubes)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large yellow onion (finely chopped)
• 3 cloves garlic cloves (minced)
• 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon caraway seeds
• 3 cups chicken broth
• 2 cups sauerkraut (drained)
• 1 14-ounce can diced tomatoes (canned, with juice)
• 2 bay leaves
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup sour cream (for garnish, optional)
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Season the pork cubes with salt and pepper, then sear in batches until browned on all sides. Remove the pork from the pot and set aside.

Step 3

Lower the heat to medium and add the chopped onion, cooking for 5-7 minutes until softened and translucent.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic, smoked paprika, and caraway seeds, cooking for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 5

Return the seared pork to the pot, then pour in the chicken broth. Stir well to deglaze the bottom of the pot and bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 6

Add the sauerkraut, canned diced tomatoes (with their juice), and bay leaves. Stir to combine the ingredients thoroughly.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to low, cover with a lid, and let the goulash simmer gently for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until the pork is tender and the flavors have melded together.

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.

Step 9

Remove the bay leaves before serving. Serve hot, optionally garnished with sour cream and fresh parsley.
