Well, the guests are happy, and you are happy to try. Let's go directly to the detailed description, in case someone doesn't understand it.

We will need:

  • tomatoes - 2 kg
  • bell pepper - 2.5 kg
  • sugar - 1 tbsp
  • salt - 1 tbsp
  • garlic - 3 cloves
  • vinegar 9% - 1 tbsp
  • vegetable oil - 1 tbsp

Stages:

1. First of all, you need to work some magic on the tomatoes. Wash them well with water and remove the stem. Chop into pieces in any convenient way, it doesn’t matter how they are cut. Since they are immediately loaded into the bowl of a food processor or meat grinder to make tomato puree. Moreover, it will come out with a thick consistency.

It is best to put a special attachment for a juicer on the meat grinder. Then all the skins will come off on their own and will not end up in the general mass. Immediately add sugar and salt. Stir and put on fire. As soon as the mixture boils, add finely chopped garlic, plus vegetable oil and vinegar. Cook for about one half hour.

Vinegar can be added at the very end of the whole process, and not exactly at this moment, as written in the poem.


2. Meanwhile, take care of the main king of this dish. Wash the bell pepper and cut off the stalk, remove the seeds and veins from inside the fruit. Chop into rectangular pieces.


3. And now it’s time to take and add vegetables to the stewed red mixture, which is already very aromatic and tasty. Be sure to taste it, if it is sour or, on the contrary, sweet, then add bulk at your discretion. Cook for another 40 minutes and if you decide to add vinegar now, then do it just 5 minutes before turning off.


4. There is no need to cool the finished salad afterwards. Take clean, sterile jars and immediately place the workpiece in it. Screw on the metal lid and turn the container upside down. Wrap in a towel and wait until it cools completely.

Important! Be sure to turn the jars over, since in this case sterilization will, as it were, pierce the jar once again, and also check the strength and tightness of the lid. Anything can happen, sometimes a batch of lids comes across with a defect, the elastic band will burst, or the thin metal will all shrink from the heat.

In general, it is better to wait about a day, and only then take it down to the cellar in a cool place without sunlight.

Now that supermarket shelves are replete with an assortment of jars of preserves, many housewives still continue to make their own preparations for the winter. And not without reason, because no matter how much manufacturers promise us that their preserves are as tasty as homemade, all the same, real home-canned food, prepared by the housewife for the winter with love and care for loved ones, cannot even be compared with “store-bought” food.

Cookbooks, the Internet and other sources offer a wide variety of recipes for winter canning: from banal tomatoes, cucumbers or eggplants, simply cut into pieces and sealed in a bottle, to whole dishes: squash caviar, vegetable salads, adzhiki.

Many housewives prefer unusual, intricate recipes with which they can surprise loved ones and guests. One of these types of preserves that are prepared for the winter are salads and lecho.

Lecho is a tasty and very impressive dish that will perfectly diversify the winter table.

It is generally accepted that lecho is a recipe from Bulgarian cuisine. And most housewives associate it with sweet bell pepper salad different colors, drenched in tomato sauce. But this is not entirely true: in fact, lecho is a dish of Hungarian cuisine. But the housewives cook it in different countries, it was especially loved in Europe. The recipes differ from each other: for example, Hungarian lecho contains not only vegetables, but also smoked meat; in Russia the recipe was adapted to those products that are more accessible to us: sweet peppers, carrots, onions, tomatoes; France has its own analogue of the dish - ratatouille.

Although lecho is indeed, to some extent, a salad, only its winter version. We will consider the most known variants preparing this delicious and healthy salad.

Lecho recipes from all over the world

It should be noted that no matter what recipe for preparing lecho for the winter you choose, there is one nuance common to all recipes: immediately after the lecho is ready, it must be poured into pre-sterilized jars and rolled up. Therefore, it is advisable to either prepare the jars in advance or do it while the dish is being prepared. Then you need to wrap each jar until it cools completely. And now it’s time to familiarize yourself with the variety of lecho recipes for real housewives, which you can prepare for the winter.

Delicious lecho for the winter - a recipe that will lick your fingers

Each housewife prepares lecho according to homemade recipe. This recipe is delicious, be sure to prepare it for the winter, I’m sure you will like the appetizer. You can eat it as a separate dish or serve this lecho as a side dish, in any case you will lick your fingers.

Required set of ingredients:

  • sweet peppers and tomatoes - each 2 kilograms
  • sunflower oil - 150 gr
  • sugar - 100 gr
  • salt - 50 gr
  • table vinegar - 2 tsp.

  1. I clean the peppers from tails, seeds, partitions, and cut them into rings of about 1.5 cm.
  2. I put the tomatoes through the food processor, they should turn out to be a homogeneous mass, and pour them into the pan. Add sugar, salt, pepper rings, vegetable oil, vinegar and mix well.
  3. I put the saucepan on medium heat, cooking takes 30-40 minutes, stirring from bottom to top from time to time. The peppers will sink lower to the bottom of the pan as they cook.
  4. I do not sterilize the jars, but burn them in the oven. Before burning, I wash the jars, dry them slightly, place them in a cold oven, turn the temperature up to 200 degrees, and leave them for 15 minutes. I think it’s faster this way, and it’s guaranteed that all sorts of microbes die.
  5. I transfer the hot lecho into cooled jars, seal them with boiled lids, turn them over, and wrap them in something warm.

My tips

  • In all recipes I indicate sweet peppers in their pure form, that is, already peeled, this means that you need to purchase or take your own grown ones by 300-400 grams more. The same applies to other vegetables; the unpeeled ones will require a little more.
  • I always try to write on the jars the date of preparation and funny notes about what happened on that day. In winter, it’s great to remember this day when this preparation was prepared, and it’s so convenient.
  • In winter, I often use lecho for preparing winter food - in borscht, soups, for meat, and lecho gravy will flavor any dish.
  • The ideal lecho tastes sweetish, a little salty and slightly sour, so try and use your own measure, salt, sugar, vinegar.
  • The signal that the lecho is ready is actually not the time indicated in the recipes, but the state of the pepper’s boiling; if it’s cooked, then our preparation is ready.
  • Lecho is in many recipes, but in almost all of mine it is not sterilized, but sealed hot. Treat this moment responsibly - when pouring into containers, the stove must continue to work under the workpiece, maintain the boiling point when pouring into jars. The containers should not be underfilled; squeeze all the oxygen out of them. A well-filled jar should be rolled up immediately. If everything is done according to the rules, the blanks will not explode.
  • A properly rolled pepper is not just a translation of food, it is truly a delicious dish, a wonderful side dish in winter time, the gravy itself is very tasty, can be drunk, or used for preparing first and second courses.

Lecho in tomato juice for the winter

For this recipe, purchase your favorite tomato juice. I don’t use salt, because usually manufacturers salt the juice; you can add salt to your taste.

  • favorite tomato juice - 2.5 liters
  • sweet peppers - 2 kg
  • sugar and sunflower oil - a glass each
  • salt - 2 tbsp. l

  2. Mix tomato juice with vegetable oil at the same time, add sugar, salt, vinegar, bring to a boil.
  3. The first signs that the juice will boil have appeared, these are bubbles on its surface. Place the prepared pepper parts into the pan and boil for 40 minutes.
  4. Place the hot mass in a sterilized container, roll it up, wrap it in a warm cloth, and keep it until completely cooled. Store refrigerated.

How to serve lecho

This dish can be served as a whole dish or as a side dish.

In Hungary, it is eaten as a separate dish by stirring eggs in it. This is quite reasonable, since Hungarian lecso usually contains meat products. In Germany, it is served as a side dish for fried sausages, sausages or grilled meat. And in Russia - as a salad with porridge, mashed potatoes or meat. Lecho goes well with rice, buckwheat, wheat porridge, as well as boiled potatoes and french fries. This type of preservation will enhance and enrich the taste of any main dish.

In any case, the treatment is very tasty dish. And his bright look will definitely improve your mood and appetite. In addition, it contains vitamins, in particular vitamin C, beta-carotene, and potassium, which are rich in vegetables that make up lecho. But in winter it is very important to eat as many vegetables as possible in order to compensate for the lack of essential vitamins. Home canning is a great help in this matter.

Lecho is a native representative of Hungarian cuisine. The obligatory components included in the dish are tomatoes and red peppers (less often yellow, but not green). Lecho in our country, like any popular dish, does not have a specific recipe and can be adapted to any available vegetables. Onions, carrots, eggplants, zucchini, cucumbers, garlic, spices - these and other vegetables complement the traditional Hungarian leczo.

At home, it is prepared exclusively from peppers and tomatoes. But, despite the minimalism, local chefs turn it into a delicious side dish, which is usually served with soft white bread, pasta or meat products. Today, almost every housewife has her own signature recipe for making lecho, which she happily shares with family and guests.

Pepper lecho - food preparation

Before preparing lecho, first of all, you should familiarize yourself with the recipe, purchase necessary list ingredients. Since the main vegetable of our lecho will be bell pepper, we will focus on it. We choose only ripe, fleshy fruits for lecho. Their skin should have a uniform color without dark spots and a smooth structure (not be flabby), otherwise the taste and appearance of the final dish will be spoiled.

Remove the stem from suitable peppers and extract the seeds using convenient kitchen tools. And then we chop it at our discretion. Some people prefer to chop the peppers into strips along the entire fruit, others prefer to chop them smaller. As for the rest of the vegetables included in the lecho recipe, they should definitely be washed, dried, and, if desired, the skin of the tomatoes should be removed. This is not difficult to do if you first pour boiling water over the tomatoes.
