This Vegan Veggie Goulash recipe is perfect for vegans, vegetarians, or anyone looking for a hearty and healthy meal. Typically, goulash is a meat-heavy dish that originated in Hungary. However, this veganized version relies on seitan or tofu for protein, and vegetables for flavor and nutrition. The hot paprika in the recipe gives the dish a lovely richness that pairs well with the smokiness of the choice of protein. The dish is best served hot, and can be garnished with fresh chopped parsley to add a pop of freshness and colour.

Instructions

1.Begin by finely chopping the onion and garlic, then dice the bell pepper and zucchini into small pieces.
2.Heat vegetable oil in a large saucepan and fry the onions until they're soft and translucent.
3.Add the chopped garlic and bell pepper to the frying pan and fry them until the pepper is soft.
4.Mix your paprika, ajvar, and caraway seeds together, and add it to the pan with the diced zucchini.
5.Add a pinch of sugar, salt, and pepper to taste, and fry the entire mixture for another 2-3 minutes.
6.Pour the vegetable broth over the mixture and turn the heat down to low, allowing it to simmer for 30 minutes.
7.Cut your seitan or smoked tofu into bite-sized pieces, and stir them into the goulash.
8.Simmer the goulash until the sauce thickens and the seitan or tofu is heated through.
9.Serve the Vegan Veggie Goulash hot, and garnish with fresh chopped parsley.
