- Transfer the fried meat to the clay pot. Add paprika, a ladle of broth, and white wine. Stir.
- Cover and cook for about 2 hours or until meat is very tender.
- Meanwhile, prepare the fake mash: boil potatoes until soft. While still hot, mash with a fork.
- Season the mashed potatoes with salt and coarse black pepper. Add only the egg yolk and mix well.
- Prepare the red currant jam: reduce water, wine, and sugar with red currants until syrupy.
- To serve, place a generous spoonful of mash on the plate, top with goulash and some of its sauce, and garnish with the red currant jam.
