I suggest you watch the video recipe for making lecho from bell pepper

Good luck with your preparations and look forward to new recipes!

For me, this is the most delicious lecho you can imagine. This juicy, tender and aromatic vegetable appetizer contains all the colors and tastes of sunny summer. Fleshy bell pepper, sweet carrot, spicy onion and rich tomato combine perfectly in this lecho, which we will prepare with you for the winter.

The other day I already made you another recipe for lecho - with sweet peppers and tomatoes (according to my grandmother’s recipe). And today the recipe is from my mom - the preparation has been tested for many years and always turns out 5+. By the way, if I like to eat this lecho just with a piece of bread or as a side dish meat dishes, then my mother calls it dressing and puts it in borscht. And in fact, you can also add this juicy and aromatic lecho as a first course - it will turn out very tasty, I guarantee it.

Ingredients:

(1 kilogram) (1 kilogram) (400 grams) (400 grams) (100 grams) (100 milliliters) (1 tablespoon) (2 tablespoons) (2 pieces) (5 pieces)

Cooking the dish step by step with photos:


The recipe for this simple and delicious lecho for the winter includes sweet peppers, tomatoes, onions, carrots, refined vegetable oil (I have sunflower oil), 9% table vinegar, sugar, salt, bay leaf and allspice peas. You can choose any color of pepper, but it is important that the fruits are fleshy and ripe. Also take ripe tomatoes, you can even crush them - still chop them. As for the spices, you can also add a couple of clove buds, but this is optional. By the way, although vinegar is used in this lecho recipe, you can neglect it or add less (although 2 tablespoons is not much for such a quantity of vegetables).


So, first of all, let's deal with the tomatoes. They need to be washed and cut out from the vegetables the places where the stalk was attached. Next, grind the tomatoes in any convenient way - you can use a food processor or through a meat grinder.


But I was too lazy to collect it and then wash it, so I simply punched the tomato slices with an immersion blender directly into the pan (I have a 4-liter capacity) in which lecho will be prepared for the winter. The result is literally in 30 seconds, and there is no need to remove the skin.


Add to tomato puree(we can say that this is juice with pulp) salt, sugar, allspice and bay leaf. If you want the lecho to be spicy, add hot pepper, but I never do that. For me, lecho is delicate snack, not at all spicy. Place the pan on the stove, bring to a boil and cook over medium heat for about 15-20 minutes. Don't forget to stir the tomatoes.


In the meantime, let's get to the rest of the vegetables. We peel the onions and carrots - we will need 400 grams of each, peeled.


The onion can be cut arbitrarily, but I prefer the pieces to be felt in ready-made lecho. We cut large onions into 4 parts, after which we cut each into thick quarter rings. Pour all the oil into the frying pan at once, heat it and add the chopped onion. Fry over medium heat, stirring, until transparent.


While the onions are fried, either chop the carrots on a coarse grater or cut them into strips (thin strips). The second option, although it takes longer, is tastier when prepared (in my opinion).


When the onion is half ready and becomes transparent, add carrots to it and fry everything together until full readiness. Don't forget to stir so it doesn't burn.


Meanwhile, prepare the pepper. We wash the vegetables, cut them in half lengthwise, cut out the stalks, white veins and remove the seeds.


We cut the halves themselves arbitrarily - this is the kind of lecho for the winter that I love when the pepper is cut into thick slices. In this form, there should be 1 kg of pepper (a little more is possible).



By the way, without a lid, in about 20 minutes the tomato juice with additives managed to boil, evaporate and become thicker. Taste it: it will seem a little rich, but that's how it should be. We also need to add pepper, carrots and onions - they will absorb salt and sugar. At this stage, I advise you to remove the bay leaf, since it has already given off its aroma, and can later give off bitterness in the preparation.




Stir the contents of the pan, cover with a lid and bring everything to a boil. After this, remove the cover and do medium heat and stew vegetables in tomato sauce about 20 minutes. During this time, carefully mix everything a couple of times. It may seem that there are too many vegetables for such a volume of tomatoes, but this is not so: during the stewing process, they themselves will release juice and there will be much more liquid.


The readiness of the pepper is determined by its texture: the flesh should become almost soft, and the skin should in no case come off (then you have simply overcooked it). But the pepper shouldn’t be crunchy either - find a middle ground for yourself. The carrots and onions were almost ready before, so everything is clear with them.

Bulgarian lecho is a traditional Hungarian dish (not Bulgarian, as is commonly mistakenly believed), which preserves the taste, aroma and beneficial properties of sweet pepper. Housewives complement the appetizer with many ingredients, but traditional Bulgarian lecho consists of bell peppers, tomatoes and spices.

Bulgarian lecho is prepared for the winter as vegetable snack. The dish can be used as an integral part of the main dish - in vegetable stew or in addition to spaghetti.

Classic lecho recipe

The recipe for making traditional lecho is quite simple, and the result depends mainly on the quality of the products used.
