Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 cups fresh mushrooms (any variety you prefer) Feel free to mix different types of mushrooms for varying flavors and textures.
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 1 can (15 oz) diced tomatoes Use with their juices.
  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 cup cooked pasta or rice (for serving)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish A generous sprinkle enhances presentation and flavor.

Method
 

Cooking Steps
  1. In a large pot, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 3-5 minutes.
  2. Toss in the fresh mushrooms and sauté until they release their liquid and soften, roughly 5-7 minutes.
  3. Stir in the paprika, mixing well to coat the mushrooms and onions. Allow the spices to toast for about a minute for maximum flavor.
  4. Add the canned diced tomatoes (with their juices), vegetable broth, and soy sauce to the pot. Stir everything together.
  5. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then lower the heat and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
  6. Taste the goulash and season with salt and pepper as needed. Serve over cooked pasta or rice, and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
