Algarve-style lamb

Cut the meat into pieces and season with salt, pepper, and paprika. Dice the bacon and fry in olive oil. Then add the meat and brown. Finally, add the crushed garlic cloves and the onion rings to the meat and brown them as well. Add the diced tomato and the white wine, and let it simmer with the lid on. Now add the water and simmer over low heat until the meat is cooked. Season again with salt, pepper, paprika, and a little vinegar (or piri-piri if desired). Slice the bread and fry. Arrange the bread on a platter and pour the meat and sauce over it. Sprinkle with parsley.
