Instructions

Working time approx. 15 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 30 minutes; Total time approx. 45 minutes

quick and tasty.

Preheat a medium saucepan, add the oil and heat until hot, then add the onions and bacon. Fry until just browned, then add the garlic and cook briefly. Prepare half a liter of water. Stir in the sugar, tomato paste, sambal oelek (or harrissa), and paprika, and toast lightly (this is important for the flavor). Deglaze with a little water, enough to make a thick paste. Stir in the stock powder, season well with pepper, and salt if desired. Reduce slightly, then stir in the cream. Season again with pepper, salt, and stock powder, and simmer gently over a very low heat. Only now cook the noodles according to the package instructions, as the sauce needs to infuse. Sweet and sour endive salad goes well with it.
