Goulash Bowl with preserved lemon

Method

1. Start by prepping your yellow onion, garlic, vegetable stock so the cooking goes quickly.
2. Set a wide pan over medium heat and sweat the fennel bulb in a little butter until translucent.
3. Turn the heat up, add the goulash, and cook until deeply browned and aromatic.
4. Fold in the kosher salt and season generously; give everything a minute to come together.
5. Pour in the vegetable stock, bring to a gentle simmer, and cook until thickened and glossy.
6. Taste and adjust, then finish with a handful of herbs right before serving.
7. Serve warm, ideally with something to soak up the sauce.
