Classic Keto Goulash

Classic Keto Goulash

(Gluten Free & Low Carb)

This recipe has the taste of the hot goulash your mom made without all of the carbs.

I love it. And, while I won't try to tell you that the cauliflower will taste just like the elbow macaroni you loved as a kid, it also won't kick you out of Ketosis.

This is a legit recipe full of healthy fat, fiber and flavor to keep you going strong in those cold winter nights ahead.

I know that it sounds weird to say "Classic" and "Keto" in the same title but that's what this is. It has the flavor of the old recipe and the nutrition of the new Keto, Low carb style of cooking.

Classic Keto Goulash Cooking Tips:

  • Use tomato bullion instead of tomato paste for the deep, rich tomato flavor.

It has less carbs and you won't reduce the heart of the dish...which is of course the tomato base.

This is the tomato base that we like.

  • Add red pepper flakes if you like your goulash spicy.
  • Use green bell pepper to get the classic flavor and keep carbs a little lower.
  • If you are using green onions instead of yellow add them to the dish once you have turned off the heat.

If you simmer the green onions into the rest of this dish they will be limp. This might be a personal preference but I don't like my green onions to be overcooked. They taste kind of weird, turn a bit slimy and lose a lot of flavor.

  • Top with cheese & parsley if desired.

I don't usually top mine with cheese because it takes away from the flavor that reminds me of the Auntie who made this dish for me as a child.

But I do add parsley to make it look beautiful and give it a fresh aftertaste.

Classic Keto Goulash garnished

This dish is filling and satisfying on it's own. It also has a ton of fiber and is pretty nutritionally sound.

But in case you are looking for an easy Keto dessert to go with it...we have you covered.

I like chocolate with every fiber of my being...but I think it goes especially well with the "Italian" essence of this dish.

I think that's it for this Classic Keto Goulash recipe...

It's pretty simple and doesn't need too much explanation. But remember, this recipe is only a guide.

Do Keto on your terms. Add more spices if you like (I usually double the spices and add red pepper flakes).
