Brown the meat in the fat in a casserole dish. Add the onions and fry briefly. Add salt, pepper, paprika, 1/2 bay leaf, and 2 cloves, and fill with water so the meat is well covered. Simmer for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, stirring occasionally. Half an hour before the dish is ready, add the bell peppers and let them soften. Thicken the sauce with a little flour. Season generously with salt and pepper. Serve with potatoes and finish with a dollop of crème fraîche.
