Ingredients (what you need)
1 whole chicken (1000 - 1500 g)
1000-1500 g onions (as much onion as chicken)
salt
2 tablespoons sweet ground paprika
1 teaspoon hot ground paprika
2 green peppers
1 tomato
3 tablespoons oil
water
Recipe steps
Cut the chicken into pieces and salt it.
In heated fat, sauté finely chopped onion, green pepper cut into strips, and tomato cut into wedges. The onion should be lightly browned but not burnt. Remove from heat and add both ground peppers, then pour in approximately 300 ml of water, return to heat, and simmer until almost dry - the paprika must not scorch.
Again add the same amount of hot water to prevent the cooking from stopping, and repeat this process 4-5 more times until the onion is softened.
To this paprika base, add the chicken and fry it while stirring continuously.
Add hot water and simmer covered until the meat is tender. If necessary, add small amounts of hot water.
The finished dish should not be too juicy. The onion that breaks down adds thickness and flavor to the sauce, and its gelatinous consistency depends on the chicken bones. Therefore, this stew is never thickened with flour.
Serve with dumplings.
