Ingredients

3 lbs green peppers or 3 lbs yellow peppers, but not bells, quartered

1 large onion, diced
3 -4 tablespoons oil
2 slices bacon (optional)
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon paprika

1/2 teaspoon caraway seed (optional)

Steps:

Cut bacon slices into smaller pieces and fry them in the same pot you're going to use for cooking the stew.

Add a cup of water.
Cover pot and simmer until peppers are done to your taste, 10-20 minutes.
