Directions
- Cut the meat into small, sharp pieces. Dice the onions and peel the garlic cloves. ≈ 8 min
- Melt the butter and brown the onions until they become translucent. Add the crushed garlic, then the meat, and cook until lightly browned.
- Sprinkle with paprika, being careful not to burn it, then add water. Add the cumin, pepper, and salt. Dice the tomatoes and bell peppers and add them. For a spicier version, add a hot pepper separately, and remove it if desired. Simmer gently like a soup, adding the potatoes and carrots as they cook.
