Heat the lard in a large saucepan or saucepan. Briefly brown the meat and remove it from the fat.
Dice and sauté the onions. Core the peppers, cut into strips and add to the onions. Stew with paprika powder, salt and bay leaves for about 3 minutes.
Then add the long grain rice to the onion / paprika mixture and fry briefly. Deglaze with water and tomatoes and add the meat again.
Bring the liquid to a boil and simmer for about 1 to 1 ½ hours on a low level. The rice should have completely absorbed the liquid, should still be moist, but no longer in the liquid.
For a meat-free version, simply use twice the amount of peppers plus 1 small stick of leek and about 300 g of corn.
