GOULASH
Hungarian goulash (gulyás) is the traditional stew of Hungary. Its origins can be traced back to the ninth century Magyar shepherds. Originally it consisted of chunks of meat and onions, slowly cooked until all the liquid was boiled away, and then dried in the sun. The meat could then be used to prepare a stew by boiling it in water. Paprika was added to the recipe in the 18th-century.
