For the stew:

- 2 pounds pork shoulder, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons sweet paprika
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika

To make the stew, heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the pork and cook until browned on all sides. Remove the pork from the pot and set aside. Add the onion and garlic to the pot and cook until softened. Add the sweet paprika, smoked paprika, caraway seeds, salt, and black pepper and cook for 1 minute. Add the chicken broth, diced tomatoes, and bell peppers and bring to a simmer. Add the pork back to the pot and simmer for 1 hour, or until the pork is tender.
