Paprika, Hungary’s culinary symbol, is a slightly spicy seasoning ground from a variety of sweet red pepper that has been grown in the country since the 16th century. It imparts a distinctive flavor as well as a good color to this hearty stew without making it too hot. Cook this the day before serving to allow the flavors to develop.

Instructions
- In a large heavy-duty pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook until soft, about 5-8 minutes.
- Add the stew meat, a large sprinkle of both salt and pepper, and brown gently, stirring frequently to prevent the meat from sticking, about 10 minutes.
- Add the paprika, thyme, and caraway seeds and mix well; cook for 1-2 more minutes and remove from the heat.
- Pour in the beef stock; then whisk in the tomato paste until dissolved. Return to the heat and cook, covered, over low heat for 1-1½ hours, or until the meat is tender.
- Add the peppers and potatoes to the pot and cook for 20-25 more minutes, stirring occasionally, until the veggies are done.
- Adjust the seasonings and serve warm with crusty gluten-free bread, if desired.
