Ingredients

- 8 medium potatoes

- 1 zucchini
- 3 sprigs green onion
- 3 sprigs leek
- 2 tomatoes
- 1 green pepper
- 1 red pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tsp pepper
- 7 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 cup water
- 1 and a half teaspoons gulyás seasoning (or 1 tablespoon sweet paprika, a pinch each of cumin and coriander)
- Fresh green parsley, chopped for garnish

Preparation steps

1. Preparing the vegetables
Before you start, take a moment to clean and wash your vegetables thoroughly. It is essential to have all ingredients ready to ensure even cooking.

2. Sautéing vegetables
In the Multicooker (or in a saucepan on the stove), add a little oil and turn on the 'Fry' function for 15 minutes. Add the onion, leeks and peppers, cut into rounds or cubes. Leave to cook, stirring occasionally.

3. Adding the vegetables
After a few minutes, when the onion is glassy and fragrant, add the diced zucchini, diced tomatoes and sliced carrots. Finally, add the diced celery. Continue stirring to combine flavors for 15 minutes.

4. Potatoes and liquid
Now it's time to add the diced potatoes, tomato goulash, water, salt and pepper. Stir well to combine the ingredients. Close the lid of the Multicooker and turn on the 'Stew' function for one hour.

5. Seasoning
About 15 minutes before the program ends, add the gulyás seasoning and stir gently. If you are cooking on the stove, check the vegetables and add the seasoning when they are almost cooked through, simmering for another 10-15 minutes.

6. Finalizing the dish
Finally, add the chopped green parsley for a touch of freshness. Taste and adjust salt or pepper to taste.
