Ingredients

• 2 tins of kidney beans
• 500g potatoes
• 2 peppers
• 2 onions
• 2 garlic cloves
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tbsp tomato purée
• 800ml vegetable stock

• 1 pinch of salt

Method

You’ll need: saucepan · chopping board · knife · sieve · wooden spoon · ladle

1. Dice the onions and garlic and fry them in the olive oil in a large pan for 6 min, until the onions are golden brown.
2. Stir in the tomato purée, paprika, smoked paprika, caraway and marjoram and toast everything for 1 min.
3. Peel the potatoes and cut the potatoes and peppers into 2 cm cubes. Add both to the pan with the stock and simmer the goulash, covered, for 20 min.

5. Season with the apple cider vinegar and salt and serve the goulash hot.

Good to know

A goulash without meat mainly needs one thing: enough paprika and onions that are properly browned. Kidney beans give it bite, potatoes thicken the sauce. It costs little and tastes even better on the second day.

Swaps

Kidney beans → black beans or chickpeas. Potatoes → sweet potatoes. Peppers → courgettes. Apple cider vinegar → lemon juice.

Cooking tips

Let the onions really brown; they give the goulash the depth that would otherwise come from the meat. Only toast the paprika briefly, or it turns bitter.

Storage

Keeps for 4 days in the fridge or 3 months in the freezer.

Allergens

Vegan and gluten-free, no nuts. For children, use sweet paprika instead of smoked paprika. Suitable in pregnancy.
