I'll update as soon as I've tried it myself. Add onion, bell pepper and mushrooms. Spicy Paprika Sauce describes it but isn't a real translation of the German name, Zigeunersosse, which breaks down to Zigeuner, meaning "Gypsy", and Sosse, (or Soße, if using the German alphabet) meaning "sauce". Some English speaking folks will already this as just "Gypsy sauce", since it does sometimes gets translated literally.

The German Zigeuner Sauce is a spicy and classic German sauce that you serve with meat dishes such as Schnitzel or pork chops. It is a classic sauce that is very popular with a Schnitzel which can be breaded or not. By the time the gravy had reduced it was a little salty for us. My fault entirely but just a heads up to others who will be making this. Not a bad start, but much better if you add some drippings from the meat you serve this with – in my case it was Chef John's.
