Preparation

1. In a large, heavy casserole saute the onions in the lard until glossy and golden. Meanwhile, mince the garlic with the caraway seeds. Add to the casserole with the beef. Saute for five minutes, stirring frequently.
2. Off heat, add the paprika and stir thoroughly. Add enough hot stock to cover the meat. Bring to a boil, cover and simmer gently for an hour. Add more stock as necessary.
3. Add the potatoes and cook for 10 minutes. Then add the green pepper, tomatoes, carrot, salt and pepper. Add enough stock to cover. Cook for 30 minutes longer. Correct seasoning.
4. Meanwhile, prepare the dumplings. Sift the flour into a bowl with the salt. Make a well in the middle and add the egg. Mix together to make a smooth dough. Roll out to half-inch thickness.
5. Just before serving the soup, pinch off tiny pieces of dumpling about half an inch square and drop them into the soup a few at a time. They are done when they rise to the surface.

• If you are making these dumplings for the first time you may wish to cook them separately in boiling water to make sure they come out correctly. They should be springy to the touch but still soft when they are done.
