Rinse tomatoes and peppers in cool water. Cut the tomatoes on top, pour over boiling water for 30-60 seconds, peel them. Either grate the peeled tomatoes or grind them in a blender. Cut the pepper into 2 parts, remove all seeds, cut into small cubes. Transfer the vegetables to a bowl, add the tomato paste, stir.

Take a deep, thick-walled frying pan, put the vegetables and tomato paste in it, put on the fire and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Vegetables should be stewed under a closed lid.

Add stewed vegetables to the meat, stir and simmer for 30 minutes over the lowest heat.
