2. Heat up a dutch oven or other thick bottomed big cooking pot to medium hot with the lard or butter and put in the onions. Fry them for a minute or so then add the paprika powders and the caraway powder while stirring and then about 50-75 ml of water
3. Let this fry for about 10-15 minutes, stir regularly and if needed add more water, it should remain moist enough not to burn!! then add the meat while stirring and bake it nicely all around untill there is no more red visible, takes a few more minutes
4. Add the paprika fritter, the cut tomato and stir well, then add bay leaf, squashed garlic cloves and a good amount of pepper and salt with another 50-100 ml of water (or untill everything is almost under water), lower the heat and leave to simmer for 90-120min (untill tender) with a closed lid, stirring every half hour or so
