It wouldn’t be much of a World Cup Kitchen without an appearance from champions Germany, where we’re rustling up a captivating goulash. From its origins in Hungary, it spread across eastern and central Europe over thousands of years, where there are dozens of local varieties. One common ingredient, including in this German take on the simple meat and veg stew, is copious amounts of paprika! Germany are looking to make it a double at the World Cup, but you will definitely be going for seconds here!
