 Goulash is a dish originated from medieval Hungary that contains a stew of meat. Typical of Hungarian culture, goulash usually spotlights paprika as a key ingredient for flavor and color. We added a little wildgame twist on this traditional dish by using venison to create a recipe that is easy to make, delicious, and perfect for cozying up with and enjoying during the cold winter months!
