Step by Step guide
Step 1
Cut the tomatoes into small pieces (you can blanch them in boiling water and peel them, but I don't do that).
Step 2
Slice the bell peppers into thin strips.
Step 3
Remove the seeds from the chili peppers (that's where all the heat is), and chop them into pieces.
Step 4
Peel the garlic and slice it thinly.
Step 5
Heat the vegetable oil.
Step 6
Sauté the garlic, chili, and bell peppers for 5–10 minutes until softened.
Step 7
Add the tomatoes to the pot and continue to stew with the vegetables.

Add the tomato paste, salt, sugar, pepper, and paprika, and continue to simmer on low heat for about an hour, until the liquid reduces by half.

Be sure to let it cool.
