Working time approx. 15 minutes; Total time approx. 15 minutes

Sauté the diced onions, add the ground beef, and fry until crumbly. Stir in the tomato paste. Add the chopped or pureed canned tomatoes. For extra heat, either chop the chili pepper or halve it (it’s easier to remove later) and add it with or without the seeds. Pour in the broth and season with salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper. Add the brandy and pickled green peppercorns. Simmer for about 1/2 hour. Serve sprinkled with crème fraîche and finely chopped parsley.
