Finely dice the bell peppers, onions, and garlic. Brown the minced meat in a large roasting pan with 2 tablespoons of oil for about 5 minutes. Add the diced vegetables and cook for another 3 minutes. Add the tomato paste and sauté for 1 minute. Season everything with the various paprika powders, salt, pepper, and sugar. Pour in the broth and simmer in a covered pan over low heat for 2 hours.
