Hearty and warming, goulash is a staple in many central European countries and is known as Hungary's national dish. This stew is packed full of meat and veg in a spiced tomato and paprika broth, but ours is ready in just 25 minutes.
Boxes and ingredients are packed in facilities that handles Peanut, Nuts, Sesame, Fish, Crustaceans, Milk, Egg, Mustard, Celery, Soya, Gluten and Sulphites. Due to the war in Ukraine, it has been necessary to substitute sunflower oil with rapeseed oil in some products without a label change. The FSA have advised that allergic reactions to rapeseed oil are rare.
