   2       ts           Tomato paste
     1/3   c            Chicken broth, or more if
                        Needed [used FF chicken
                        Broth]
           x            Salt and freshly ground

     1/8   ts           Sugar, or more to taste

  1) Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  Add the onions and saute' until softened but not
  colored, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in the paprika and toss
  with the onions until they are deeply colored.
  
  2) Add the peppers and continue to saute', stirring
  occasionally, for another 10 minutes. Do not allow the
  vegetables to brown.
  
  3) Stir in the tomatoes, tomato paste, broth, and salt
  and pepper. Allow the mixture to boil, reduce the
  heat, cover, and simmer the peppers until very tender,
  about 30 to 35 minutes, adding more liquid, a little
  at a time, if it evaporates.
  
  4) Off the heat, stir in the vinegar and sugar and
  allow the mixture to cool.
  
  5) This can be served warm, at room temperature, or
  cold.
  
  Serves 4 [as a side dish]
  
  [Variation: Use roasted red peppers instead of fresh.
  You'll probably find this requires less cooking time,
  and requires more sugar to take the edge off the
  roasted red peppers and prevent them from dominating
  the dish. - Curtis]
