It very much resembles my grandmother's goulash that my mother made us at least once a week when I was growing up. I was raised with Hungarian food with my father being 1st generation American of Hungarian parents. I actually was watching TV this weekend and saw a delicious Hungarian Goulash recipe on American's Test Kitchen, a PBS show in the USA. I liked the recipe so much I plan to make it sometime in the coming weeks. The host talked a lot about making a paprika paste. I agree with you, the key to Hungarian cooking is to use Hungarian paprika. I use Pride of Szeged and am happy to say our local grocer carries it. Here's a link to the America's Test Kitchen recipe. http://www.americastestkitchentv.com/recipe.asp?recipeids=5256&iSeason=10 Good luck with college and opening that bakery. I hope to see your opening posted here. I generally get to Toronto for a visit every year and would love to visit your bakery. Tom from Ohio Hungarian Girl, Great recipe.

It's always good to use real Hungarian paprika especially for goulash. However, trying to find the "real stuff" isn't so easy. I've included some links to a few of the most popular paprika producers in Hungary. Many of their products are exported around the world. Perhaps, you can find them at a specialty store near you or at any Hungarian/Eastern European shop. There are several types of paprika including hot and sweet. I would recommend the sweet for goulash. Although, if you like spicy then give that one a try!

Many other paprika spices are made in the USA. Here's are some places to buy Szegedi Paprika Spice online. These retailers are in the USA (I'm not sure where your located).

Most of the Hungarian paprika I found from my local suppliers are from other countries and is wriiten on the bottle 'Hungarian Style Paprika'. Can you recommend names or brands of Hungarian Paprika? Maybe I can order online or ask my supplier to import it, just for me :-D Nevertheless, I will give this easy version a try.
