This is a tasty and healthy low-carbohydrate dinner recipe. It’s a Hungarian dinner recipe which can be served as a soup or stew. Low-carb stew is super easy to make – just some cutting, put the pan on the fire and then enjoy the scents for 3 hours! Potatoes are not suitable for a low-carbohydrate or keto diet hence pumpkin cubes can be a great replacement. Pumpkin shave a neutral taste and resemble potato in both shape and structure.

Cut the meat and onions into small pieces and crush the garlic. Melt the butter in a casserole or skillet and add the pieces of meat. Brown the meat all around and then add the sliced onions and garlic. Bake this for a few minutes.
Meanwhile, cut the peppers into small pieces and add this to the pan with the meat. Bake this for a few minutes too. Add the tomato paste and herbs to the pan while stirring. Deglaze with the water, stock cube and diced tomatoes.
Add the bay leaf to the pan and let the goulash simmer with the lid on for 2.5 hours over a low heat. After 2.5 hours of simmering, add the pumpkin cubes and let it simmer for about 30 minutes, or until the pumpkin is cooked.
After simmering, divide the goulash into 4 portions and serve with cauliflower rice if desired. Good appetite!
