Eierschwammerlgulasch Rezept Recipe

As I was foraging through my local farmer’s market, I stumbled upon the most vibrant chanterelle mushrooms, and I knew I just had to turn them into something extraordinary—a creamy Eierschwammerlgulasch that’s as cozy as it is delicious. Let’s dive into this culinary adventure that’s sure to warm your soul.

Chanterelle mushroom goulash (Eierschwammerlgulasch) is a truly delightful Austrian dish from my collection. I just love the combination of deep flavors in this recipe.

The earthy, sweet taste of chanterelle mushrooms really comes through in this dish. I paired it with sweet paprika, which I just adore and think adds a fantastic flavor profile, a slight touch of smokiness, and a good base note to any goulash-style dish.

I also think goulash-style dishes benefit from a touch of sour cream at the end. They seem to need that creamy richness to bring everything together.

How to Make this Eierschwammerlgulasch Rezept Recipe

1. In a large pan over medium heat, warm the vegetable oil or butter. Add the onion, which should be finely chopped, and sauté it until it becomes translucent.

2. Add the garlic, minced, and keep on sautéing for one more minute until you can smell it.

3. Mix in the sweet paprika powder and caraway seeds, cooking them briefly to release their aromas, but being careful not to burn the paprika.

4. Add the cleaned Eierschwammerl (chanterelle mushrooms) to the pan and cook about 5 minutes. Let them release their juices.

5. Add the vegetable stock and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Let it simmer for about 10 minutes. This is where you allow the flavors to meld.

6. In a tiny bowl, blend the flour and sour cream until the mixture is smooth.

7. Slowly incorporate the sour cream into the pan containing the mushrooms, mixture ensuring that it is well put together to create a goulash that is thick enough to eat but not so thick you can’t stir it.

8. Let the goulash gently simmer on low heat for 5 more minutes, stirring now and then until the sauce becomes rich and creamy.

9. If necessary, to balance the flavors, adjust the seasoning by adding more salt, more pepper, and some optional lemon juice.

10. Eierschwammerlgulasch is best served piping hot, with a garnish of freshly chopped parsley.

Eierschwammerlgulasch Rezept Recipe Substitutions and Variations

Olive oil or ghee may be used in place of vegetable oil or butter for a different flavor profile. Substitutions can be made in equal amounts.
Smoked paprika can give an intense, smoky flavor. If you want to use it instead of sweet paprika powder, you will get a more pronounced smoky flavor in your dish.
If you are not preparing a vegetarian dish, you can substitute chicken broth for vegetable broth.
Greek yogurt may be used instead of sour cream for a taste that is tangier.
Cumin seeds can be used in place of caraway seeds for a marginally more outstanding aromatic profile.

Pro Tips

1. Sauté for Depth: For a deeper flavor, consider sautéing the onions on low heat for an extended period to caramelize them slightly before adding the garlic. This will enhance the sweetness and complexity of the dish.
