Debbie Major’s goulash is one of those dishes that improves in flavour immensely if it’s made the day before. It would also go well with rice.

Method
- Heat the oven to 150°C/130°C fan/gas 2. Heat 1 tbsp of the fat in a flameproof casserole with a tight-fitting lid. Season and add the pork pieces in 2 batches, frying until golden brown. Transfer to a plate. Add the rest of the fat and the onions, and fry briskly for 8-10 minutes until golden. Add the peppers and fry for 1 minute more.
- Return the pork to the casserole with the paprika, garlic and caraway seeds, then fry for 1 minute. Add the tomatoes, tomato purée, vinegar, oregano, salt and 500ml cold water. Bring to a simmer, cover and cook in the oven for 1¾-2 hours until the meat is tender. Add more water after 1 hour if the goulash looks dry.
- Ten minutes or so before the goulash is ready, cook the tagliatelle in a pan of salted boiling water for 10 minutes or according to the packet instructions.
- Remove the goulash from the oven, uncover and leave to rest for a few minutes. Spoon away any excess fat from the surface, taste and season.
- Drain the tagliatelle, return to the pan and toss through the butter, garlic and parsley. Serve the goulash with the tagliatelle, topped with a spoonful of soured cream and a little grinding of black pepper.
