- Fry the thinly sliced onions in the oil until golden, then add the meat and brown it on all sides.
- Add the diced tomatoes, the tomato paste, the paprika and the pepper, then moisten with half of the water.
- Cover and let it simmer gently for 45 minutes, adding water if the sauce reduces too much.
- Meanwhile, bring the rest of the water to the boil with the stock cube, then pour in the semolina in a steady stream while stirring.
- Let the porridge cook for 10 minutes over low heat, stirring until it pulls away from the bottom of the pan.
- Shape the porridge into a mound on the plates and spoon the very hot sauce over it.
