Gypsy party

Finely chop the onion and garlic and fry in a pan with a little oil. Meanwhile, dice the bell pepper and add it to the pan. Cut the tomato into pieces and add it to the bell pepper, including the liquid and seeds. Season with a generous pinch of paprika and a small pinch of chili powder.
Stir in the tomato paste and add the chopped pickle. Let it simmer gently for a few minutes, then add the vinegar and sugar. Add the water and stir well. Crumble in the stock cube and bring the mixture to a boil.
Dissolve the cornstarch with a teaspoon of water and add it to the gypsy sauce. Let the sauce thicken for a few more minutes, stirring occasionally. The sauce tastes great with a piece of meat like these homemade breaded schnitzels and/or fries.
