Instructions

  1. Knead the minced meat with salt, pepper, grated onion, egg, parsley, breadcrumbs and paprika powder and shape into dumplings.
  2. Bring plenty of salted water to the boil. Simmer the dumplings together with the peeled and bite-sized pieces of potatoes (on the electric stove, setting 1).
  3. While everything is boiling, wash and cut the pointed peppers and tomatoes. If you want, you can scald and peel the tomatoes first.
  4. After 20 minutes, skim off part of the broth in the saucepan so that everything is barely covered with liquid. Add the vegetables and tomato paste and season the stew with kimion (cumin), garlic, salt and pepper. Then bring to the boil again for 5 minutes.

About Editorial Staff

The Boss Kitchen editorial staff oversees content review, fact-checking, and recipe verification across the site. Published articles pass through the editorial team before going live, ensuring ingredient lists, techniques, cooking times, and nutritional claims hold up in a home kitchen. The team coordinates contributions across the site writers, handles reader corrections, and maintains consistency in measurement conventions, safety guidance, and dietary labeling. Posts under this byline typically represent team-reviewed reference material, site announcements, or editorial roundups rather than individual-author features, and they are held to the same sourcing standards as bylined recipe and product coverage.
