Method

  1. Chop onion, pepper, tomato and garlic. Peel potatoes and cut into large chunks.
  2. Heat oil in a heavy pan and soften onion and pepper for 7 minutes. Add garlic for 1 minute.
  3. Take the pan briefly off the heat, stir in paprika and caraway, then add tomato, potatoes, measured water, salt and pepper.
  4. Cover loosely and simmer for 25–30 minutes until potatoes are tender and broth thickens slightly. Stir carefully so the potatoes keep their shape.

A vegetable-only version. Smoked sausage is common in other versions but is not included here; bread is separate.
