Method
Slice the sausage into rounds, cut the onions into half-moons, the peppers into strips and the tomatoes into chunks.
Fry the sausage in a tablespoon of oil over a medium heat for 3–4 minutes, until it releases its red fat and the edges brown.
Add the onion and cook for 5 minutes until soft and translucent. Take the pan off the heat and stir in the paprika – off the heat it won't burn and turn bitter.
Return to the heat, add the peppers and a pinch of salt, cover and cook for 8–10 minutes until soft.
Add the tomatoes and simmer uncovered for another 8–10 minutes, until the juices reduce to a thick, rich sauce. Taste, and if it's sharp, add a little sugar.
Serve with fresh bread to mop up the sauce.
