Add the paprika and mix in - it should be a deep dark red. Add the tomato paste and water or stock to barely cover. Bring to a boil and simmer for 10 minutes. Add potatoes and carrots. Let simmer on low heat, covered, until vegetables are tender. Add parsley, salt and pepper to taste. Add more stock if you like a thinner consistency.

Top Go Back Fettucini Afraido Use your favorite pasta sauce recipe - adding some red food coloring to ensure a deep red color rather than the orangey brown shade they usually turn.

Top Go Back Dreaded Veal Cutlets A few days in advance of your dinner party, pour a generous amount of cornflake crumbs into a bowl. Sprinkle with green food coloring and toss. Repeat until all the crumbs have been tinted green. Spread on a cookie sheet to dry thoroughly (can use a 200 degree oven to hasten drying). On the day of the party, marinate the veal cutlets for about 2 hours in lots of red food coloring, with a dash of lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika and cracked pepper. This will stain them a lovely red. Drain and flour with spiced flour (pepper, paprika, garlic, parsely, etc. added to flour). Dip in beaten egg and then into the green cornflake crumbs. Fry quickly in hot oil (canola, sunflower or peanut oil - olive oil will burn on high heat). Serve with your favorite green, red, orange and yellow vegetables.
