    Preparation Steps

    1

    Finely chop the onions and crush the garlic. Dice the tomato and bell pepper.

    2

    In a large pot, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onions and sauté until translucent. Add the garlic, then sprinkle with sweet paprika.

    3

    Add the diced beef and brown on all sides. Season with salt and pepper. Add the tomato and bell pepper. Pour in enough water to cover the beef, and simmer over low heat for 1.5-2 hours, or until the beef is tender.

    4

    Meanwhile, prepare the dumpling dough: mix together the flour, eggs, water, and a pinch of salt until you have a smooth, thick batter.

    5

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Using a dumpling scraper or a slotted spoon, drop the dumplings into the boiling water. Cook for 2-3 minutes, then drain and let them drip-dry.

    6

    Mix the drained dumplings with the sheep cheese and sour cream until creamy.

    7

    To serve, place the sheep cheese dumplings on a plate, top with the beef stew, and serve with pickles. Garnish with fresh parsley.
