Instructions

- In a large pot, heat oil over medium heat. Add garlic and onion and sauté until soft and golden brown while constantly stirring.

- Season with salt and pepper. The amount needed will depend on how salted your veggie stock already is.

- Once the potatoes are soft, dissolve corn starch in ¼ cup of water using a whisk and add it to the goulash.
- Now it's time to add any additional ingredients such as beans or some sliced sausage.
- Let simmer uncovered for about 5 more minutes or until the gravy has thickened up.
- Add preferred toppings such as fresh parsley and a generous dollop of yogurt or sour cream.
- Serve with some flatbread bread such as our Easy Naan Bread or another side dish of choice.

Notes
Possible Add-Ins:
- Sausage: If you prefer a sausage potato goulash, add some sliced sausage. We recommend spicier, smoky types of sausages such as chorizo. Choose a vegan sausage to keep this recipe vegan.
- Beans: Adding a cup of kidney beans would make another great addition to this recipe.
- Chili Flakes: for a spicier goulash.
- Saute onion and garlic using the saute mode.
- Add potato cubes, potato cubes, paprika powder, tomato paste and 2 cups of veggie stock (instead of 3,5 in a regular pot) and season with salt and pepper.
- Secure the lid, set the instant pot on high and pressure cook for 10-12 minutes (don't forget to turn the pressure release handle into "sealing position").
- Let natural release for 10 minutes, then quick release by turning the handle into "venting position" (use a knife to not burn yourself).
- Add the dissolved corn starch and let simmer (on saute mode) for another 5 minutes.
- Then continue with the recipe steps from above.
