1. Chop all ingredients into smaller pieces. Rub the meat with salt and pepper. In a clay oven pot, arrange the ingredients in the following order: vegetables, meat, and vegetables. Add salt, pepper, paprika and tomato concentrate. Pour enough water to cover everything. Bake in the oven at the highest temperature for two hours.

2. After two hours, remove the clay pot from the oven and transfer it onto the stove to continue cooking.
