Finely chop the onion and garlic. First, sauté the onion in oil, then add the garlic, paprika, and cumin a little later. Stir through and stir in the diced peppers. After 2 minutes, add the tomatoes, sugar, and thyme, and season with salt and pepper. Simmer for 20 minutes. Preheat the oven to 210°C.
