Oh, and I had never used caraway seeds before. What a lovely aroma. Not like any herb or spice I’ve used before. If you’re going to make this dish and can’t get ahold of them, fennel seed or cumin (as I read in other comments) are not an equal sub.

Nono no no for fennel seeds! Please!
It would take a totally different turn.
Just leave it out, and the cumin would change the taste as well.
Maybe a hint of smoke paprika after browning the meat.
And a few pieces of baby potato 🙂
I’m hungarian, but this recipe is spot on!!
Serve with mild fresh sliced chilli 🌶 and offer soured cream.
It’s on a different planet 😍

I love this with spaetzle. How my local German club serves it
