Working time approx. 30 minutes; Total time approx. 30 minutes

Cut the dry bread into very thin (approx. 3 mm) slices. Peel the tomatoes. Peel and deseed the peppers. Dice the cabbage, onions, peppers, garlic, and tomatoes. Heat the oil in a saucepan and fry the bread slices. When browned, remove them and set aside. Sauté the diced onions in the same oil until softened, then add the tomatoes, garlic, peppers, and cabbage. Sauté the vegetables over high heat for a few minutes, then add the parsley, paprika, salt, and pepper. Meanwhile, bring the meat broth to a boil. Pour the boiling broth over the vegetables, just enough to cover them. Cook for 10 minutes. Add the fried bread, cover the pan, and simmer until the liquid has reduced considerably. Sprinkle with some chopped parsley.
