Crush 1 tablespoon of caraway seeds using a mortar and pestle and add to the pot.

Stir in 1 tablespoon of dried margarine and 3 tablespoons of tomato paste, cooking for 1 minute on low heat.

Pour in 8 cups of beef stock and let the stew simmer for approximately 3 hours on low heat, almost fully covered.

Add cut-up hotdogs to the stew.

Stir in 2 tablespoons of sour cream.

Fry an egg in a small pan with a little butter until 70% cooked, then remove from heat.
