Lecho is the national dish of the Hungarians, but no one even remembers this anymore, considering it traditional in their country. There are many variations, but some products remain unchanged - bell peppers, tomatoes and onions.

In some countries, homemade lecho is successfully used as a side dish for sausages or meat. We used to serve it with potatoes or just eat it with bread. In Europe they often add meat products in a salad for the winter right during cooking, thereby making it a nutritious independent dish.

It is interesting to cook the classic Hungarian lecho from pepper and tomato in Hungary - at the very end of cooking, pour the dish with mashed eggs and serve immediately to the table. A side dish is not supposed to be here, you need to eat a delicious vegetable salad with a lot of fresh white bread.

“Every vegetable has its time” is a well-known Russian proverb. Used in speech when someone rushes things. And today we will take this proverb literally.

Bell pepper has gained its best strength. There they hang on a bush strong, fleshy, gained taste, color, smell. So it's time to cook lecho! After all, tomatoes are just in the juice itself. And what is needed for its preparation? Correctly! Juicy fleshy peppers and tomatoes.

Lecho is perhaps the most favorite preparation among the people. And this is no coincidence. It is prepared very quickly, stored perfectly, and finally, it is just very tasty! Even if you just eat it with bread, even serve it as an appetizer for any holiday, even add it to dishes. Therefore, everyone tries to prepare this delicious snack as much as possible. And in order to have variety, he uses different cooking methods for this.

Fortunately, there are just a huge number of recipes, even in Hungarian, even in Bulgarian. Though with carrots, even with onions, but certainly with tomatoes, or tomato paste, or with tomato juice. Let's take a look at the most delicious recipes, which can all be categorized as "you'll lick your fingers!".

All recipes are simple and do not take much time to prepare. All of them are without sterilization, except of course that empty jars must be sterilized without fail.

And the first to consider the most popular and loved by many recipe, which is prepared using tomatoes, carrots and onions.

Bell pepper lecho with tomatoes, carrots and onions - a recipe for the winter

We will need (for two 0.650 and one 0.500 liter jars):

  • bell pepper - 1 kg (without seeds)
  • tomatoes - 1.1 kg
  • carrots - 250 gr (2 pcs medium)
  • onion - 250 gr (3 medium pieces)
  • vegetable oil - 50 gr
  • sugar - 3 tbsp. spoons
  • salt - 0.5 tbsp. spoons
  • vinegar 9% - 2.5 tbsp. spoons

Cooking:

1. We wash and clean the bell pepper from the stem and seeds. To do this, cut it into two parts, and cut out the seeds along with the stalk. Then we cut it in half again and cut it across into strips about 0.7 - 1 cm wide.


Red, yellow, green, dark green! beautiful bright, saturated colors. To make the lecho beautiful, use peppers of different colors.

2. We will make a tomato from tomatoes. But in order for it to be tasty and tender, it is necessary to remove the rough skin from the tomatoes. And it is also necessary that the tomatoes are necessarily ripe, red and juicy.

And so let's take care of the skin. Place the tomatoes in a large container, or in a bucket, or in a saucepan. Previously, you can make cross-shaped incisions at the top and bottom.


We boil the kettle and pour the tomatoes so that the water covers them completely. For fidelity, you can cover them with a lid. Hold for 5 minutes, then drain the water. You can refrigerate them cold water, so the peel will be even easier to remove. Now we remove the thin skin, picking it up with a knife. We also remove the remains of the stem.


3. Cut the peeled tomatoes into two to four parts, depending on their size. And then grind into a tomato either with a meat grinder or with a blender. I use a grinder.


4. We clean the onion and cut it into very thin half rings. The thinner you cut, the lecho will be tastier.


5. Peel the carrots and three on a grater for Korean carrots. If you do not have such a grater, then use a food processor with a special nozzle for chopping carrots into thin strips.


Or just cut the carrots into very thin strips.

6. Now that all the vegetables are ready, let's start cooking. For cooking, you need a large container, either a pan with thick walls and a bottom, or a cauldron. I have my favorite cauldron, which has served me faithfully for 30 years. How many, and different things are cooked in it!

Cooking in dishes with thick walls and a bottom is better because heat is evenly distributed in it. And everything that is prepared in it is heated immediately from all sides.

In an ordinary saucepan, there is more heat near the fire itself, so if you are cooking in it, you need to stir the contents more often so that it does not burn.

7. We warm the cauldron and pour oil into it. After a minute, when the oil is also warm a little, pour the tomato into it. Bring to a boil and boil for 10 minutes.

8. Add onions and carrots with straws. Bring to a boil again. Reduce heat and simmer covered for 20 minutes. Don't forget to stir occasionally.


9. After the allotted time, add chopped pepper. We also put salt and sugar in the total mass. Stir, bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer covered for 25 minutes.


10. Add vinegar, do not confuse with essence. Stir and cook for another 5 minutes.

11. Banks must be sterilized in advance. First, they need to be washed with a cleaning agent, and then thoroughly scalded with boiling water, pouring it into a jar. To prevent the jar from bursting, put a tablespoon in it, and under it the blade of a knife.


Alternatively, steam sterilize the jars until they are hot. Also sterilize the lids. To do this, they should be poured with boiling water for 10-15 minutes.


You can also sterilize jars in the oven.

12. We lay out the finished lecho in jars. Do not rush to immediately fill the entire jar. Fill it first 1/3 of the way. Press down firmly with a spoon so that no air bubbles remain in the jar. It can cause the fermentation process.

Then fill the jar half way. Repeat the whole procedure. If the bubbles are hidden at the bottom, run along the edge of the inside of the jar with the blade of a knife, and release them.

13. So slowly fill the entire jar to the very top. We cover with a lid. Immediately fill the second jar, and then the third. From this amount of ingredients, you will get two 0.650 liter jars and one 0.500 liter jar. Or make three half-liter jars, and leave a little to eat. You don't have to wait until winter!


14. Now we twist all the banks one by one, starting with the one that was filled first. Then we turn them over and put them on the lid. Cover with a blanket or warm blanket. Leave in this form until completely cooled. Usually 24 hours.

15. Then we turn over the jar. See if it's leaking. If it's leaking, then you screwed the cap on badly. Open such a jar, put it in the refrigerator and eat.

16. If all the banks are in good condition, leave them in an accessible place for observation for 2-3 weeks. Then put it in a cool place, away from heating appliances. Suitable pantry or basement.

In winter, open jars and eat with pleasure a beautiful, fragrant and very tasty lecho!

All subsequent recipes are described briefly, as they partly repeat the first recipe. Therefore, each of them should be read only together with the first. So it describes in detail all the nuances and subtleties of the entire cooking process.

Now for the next recipe.

Harvesting for the winter from bell pepper with tomato juice for the winter according to a simple recipe

Despite the fact that this recipe is very simple, it is very tasty. There is nothing superfluous in it, not even vinegar. This is how lecho is prepared in Bulgaria. Although I do not live in Bulgaria, I also always cook it. And I love this delicious recipe!

We will need (for two 0.650 liter jars):

  • bell pepper - 1 kg
  • tomatoes - 1.1 kg
  • hot red pepper - 0.5 pcs (optional)
  • sugar - 2 tbsp. spoons
  • salt -0.5 tbsp. spoons
  • vegetable oil - 50 ml

Cooking:

The weight of the pepper is given in a purified form, that is, without seeds. The weight of the tomato is given as 1.1 kg, since we also need to have 1 kg as an output. 100 grams will be spent on removing the skin and remnants of the stalk.

1. To make tomato juice, we will need to peel the tomatoes. To do this, scald them in boiling water, and then remove the skin. How to do this is described in detail in recipe number 1.


2. Then cut into pieces and grind with a meat grinder or blender.


3. We wash and clean the bell pepper from the stem and seeds. To do this, cut it into two parts, and cut out the seeds along with the stalk. Then we cut it into wide and not very long strips. Approximately 5-6 cm long and 1-1.5 cm wide.


4. We heat a cauldron or other suitable dishes. Pour in the oil and after a minute pour in the tomato juice.

5. Bring to a boil and boil it for 30 minutes. It is considered correct to boil the juice until it is reduced in volume by half. I cook for only 30 minutes, as far as boiled down, that's enough.

6. Add chopped pepper, salt and sugar. Stir, bring to a boil and simmer with the lid closed over medium heat for another 30 minutes.


7. Immediately lay out in clean sterilized jars and tighten the lids.


8. We turn the jars over, cover with a blanket and hold until completely cooled. Then put in storage in a cool place.

If desired, in this recipe, in principle, as in all others, you can add red hot peppers. This is for those who like spicy food. Men especially like these dishes.


I add such a pepper to this cooking option. I add half when I put the bell pepper. So that it is not very bitter, it is necessary to clean out the seeds. They then give the most bitterness. Do this with gloves, and cut the peppers without removing them either.

Enjoy your meal!

The first recipe is the most common. Surely, your grandmother, mother or mother-in-law closed the world seaming just like that. We join the classics, where pepper is accompanied only by onions and tomatoes.

We need:

  • Bulgarian pepper - 3 kg (weighed in a purified form)
  • Tomatoes - 2 kg (+/- 20 pieces of medium size)
  • Onions - 10-12 pieces of medium size
  • Vegetable oil - 1 cup
  • Sugar - 1 cup
  • Table vinegar 9% - 100 ml
  • Coarse rock salt - to taste

* For this amount of vegetables, we need 2 tbsp. spoons without a slide

*1 glass - 250 ml

* Garlic can be added to taste - 3-4 large cloves

  • Sterilized jars of 500 ml or 1 liter

How to cook.

We sterilize jars. Convenient way in the oven:

  • We wash jars and lids with a brush with soda (!).
  • We put in a cold (!) oven at 120-130 degrees Celsius.
  • After heating the oven to the set temperature, we keep the jars there for 5-7 minutes. We make sure that the jars are completely dry.
  • Pour the lids with boiling water - for 5-7 minutes.

Let's get to the vegetables.

Wash the colorful set of ingredients well. Clean the peppers and onions.

Cut the peppers lengthwise into 4 pieces. The last cut is across, in increments of about 1 cm, to make short strips.

Let's move on to tomatoes.

The general rule for all recipes is lecho.

If the tomatoes are thin-skinned, simply cut and interrupt on a brander or twist in a meat grinder.

If the variety is thick-skinned, then first we cut each tomato crosswise (on the butt) and scald it with boiling water. Then the tomatoes are very easy to peel and twist already without the skin.

We clean and cut the onion the way you like it in the finished salad: half rings, quarter rings or a medium cube.


For stewing, we use large dishes - enameled or stainless steel.

We put the tomato puree on the fire and add sugar and butter. If you are sure of the amount of salt, then you can immediately add salt. Although the taste, the color - there is no comrade. For the first time, we advise you to add salt at the end of the stew, adjusting the salinity to your tastes.

Stir the puree and add the chopped onion. Stir again and heat to a boil, stirring occasionally. Cook the onion in tomato puree after boiling for literally 1-2 minutes.



Pour the pepper, mix well and heat until boiling. From the moment it boils, cook for 10-15 minutes. Here be sure to try piece by piece to turn it off in time. Pepper should be soft, but not boiled. Elastic tenderness is the best texture of the protagonist of a delicious lecho.



As soon as the pepper is cooked, pour in the vinegar and let it boil. Turn off the heating.

If we use garlic, then chop it into a small cube and add at the end along with vinegar.

We try lecho for salt and sugar. If necessary, add the desired accent. We love the balanced sweet and sour taste, where there is enough salt.

We shift the hot dish into sterilized jars, filling them to the top. We roll it up with an iron lid, turn it over and cover it with a blanket - for slow cooling.



Store ideally in a cool place. But it can also be done at room temperature. The margin of safety of the workpiece will last until spring.


Below we offer you 3 more options for lecho with bell pepper. They are different, but the children's delight "You'll lick your fingers!" will suit everyone.

Lecho with carrots for more sweetness

After the first successful seaming, we immediately fell in love with the extended line-up. We are very dedicated fans of carrots and cabbage.

  • Adding carrots to lecho is very simple! For the amount of vegetables from the classic recipe above, it is enough to take 5-8 medium carrots. Three large carrots, such chopping is universal.
  • We also love a more refined version - straws of various sizes (“Hurrah!” Grater Berner). Semicircles or circles of small thickness (0.5-0.8 cm) will also turn out tasty. With this cutting, one of the 3 main Berner nozzles also helps us.
  • Add thin sliced ​​carrots along with pepper.
  • Further - according to the algorithm described above.

If the carrots are in thick circles (1 cm), add it to the pepper, let it boil and cook for 5-7 minutes.


Lecho without vinegar for a curious experiment

It's also delicious and keeps well. If you are confused by the lack of vinegar as a preservative, then you can safely take a chance. One jar for the sake of an experiment is not such a big consumption of products.

We ourselves were surprised how well such a seaming is stored. Of course, it is desirable to put it in a cool place (a closet on a cold balcony, loggia, in the cellar). Although, if you overcome inertia and think, thanks to tomatoes, acid in lecho is more than enough. Three to four months, such a blank will stand without problems.

The only point in the recipe - increased attention to the sterility of seaming tools and containers.

We need:

  • Tomatoes - 3 kg (about 30 pieces of medium size)
  • Sweet peppers - 6-7 large vegetables (take at least half red ones)
  • Sugar - 1 cup
  • Salt - 1 tbsp. spoon with slide
  • Garlic - 6-7 large cloves

How to cook is well described in the video.

note for a large cut of pepper. This method can be applied in the classic recipe.

Follow the step-by-step presentation with close-ups and text prompts on the frames. Even a novice hostess will succeed!

Eggplant lecho - a favorite of the older generation

A boring recipe for blue lovers.

We need:

  • Eggplant - 2 kg
  • Bulgarian pepper - 500 g
  • Carrot - 500 g
  • Tomatoes - 1 kg
  • Onion - 4 pcs. medium size
  • Garlic - 3-4 cloves
  • Sugar - 100 g
  • Salt - 2 tbsp. spoons without a slide
  • Vinegar 9% table - 100 ml
  • Sunflower oil - 200 ml

How to cook.

All vegetables are washed.

Cut eggplant into medium cubes. Then pre-boil the vegetables in salted boiling water - 5 minutes. And draining the water through a colander, let the eggplant cool. Such a short boil removes bitterness from the blue.


Another way to anti-bitterness: you can salt and wait until the juice stands out, then rinse in a colander. Choose the option convenient for you pre-treatment. We do not recommend doing without it. Seaming may not be bitter, but there is a high risk that it will be poorly stored.

We cut the tomatoes into large pieces and interrupt with a blender until smooth. You can also rub it on a coarse grater.

Finely chop the red pepper. We love slicing close to the classic, like in the first recipe above. Look at the photo below: you need a long straw. Peeled pepper cut lengthwise into 4 parts. For long straws, cut each part again lengthwise (!) into thin strips.


Grind the garlic the way we like it in the finished dish. We did it differently. Best Options: when the garlic is chopped into thin sticks or a small cube. Although a quick option is also suitable - to rub or push through.

Cut the onion into thin half rings or a thin arc across.

Three carrots on a coarse grater. You can use a Berner to make thin, short straws.


Saute the onion in a hot skillet with oil for 1-2 minutes. Add carrots and simmer another 3-5 minutes.


Add chopped peppers, chopped tomatoes and eggplant slices. Simmer vegetables for 35-40 minutes.


15 minutes after combining all the ingredients, add sugar.

Toward the end of the stew, put salt, and at the very end, garlic cubes and vinegar.

We shift the hot lecho into sterilized jars, roll it up, turn it over and wrap it up.



We store the finished seaming for 4-5 months, preferably in a cool place. An unheated glazed balcony / loggia is suitable for the apartment.

Eggplant lecho is loved by the older generation of the family. We take it easy on him. Eggplant is a specific vegetable, especially for baby food.

Choosing from two options with large summer vegetables, we often prefer a la lecho salads with zucchini. We have . It is more neutral and ridiculously easy to make from any zucchini (old ones too!), the cheapest tomato and bell peppers of any color.

That's all for today. Although no! A little more about the benefits. Red bell peppers and tomatoes contain powerful antioxidant lycopene. Its advantageous feature is stability during heat treatment of vegetables. This means that due to boiling and stewing, both lecho, and tomato paste, and other salad rolls with vegetable sources of lycopene contain a lot of healing carotenoid for good health.

Lecho from bell pepper for the winter is worth a short effort. "Real jam!" both guests at home and participants in the harvesting process will tell you. Involve older children in cutting vegetables and invite them to choose their favorite recipe or size of vegetable pieces. The magic of opening a hand-made jar sometime in December cannot be compared with three trips to the supermarket.

And what kind of sunsets for the winter do you like to cook with the whole family? Looking forward to your feedback in the comments! See you in "Easy Recipes" - "Homemade". Sincerely, the team of authors site

Thank you for the article (3)

We continue conservation. Bell pepper lecho with tomatoes, carrots and onions is one of our family's favorite preparations. My the best recipe tastes most reminiscent of the Hungarian canned Globus. In addition to tomatoes, I always put quite a lot of tomato paste in it.

If you want to cook without sterilization, then add vinegar. And who does not like with vinegar, he will have to sterilize the jars with the finished product in boiling water for about 30 minutes. Both options in the basement are perfectly preserved in winter. All the recipes that I will present today are interesting and appetizing in their own way. Choose a recipe to your liking, or make a little bit of everything for variety.

Preparing an appetizer according to any of these recipes is not difficult. As always, the main time is occupied by the preparation of vegetables. All vegetables must be thoroughly washed, peeled and chopped. And then just stir the brew in a saucepan on the stove.

Recipe for lecho from bell peppers and tomatoes for the winter

The most popular basic blank option. Nothing extra, just tomatoes and sweet peppers. Although this is not a strict restriction. You can add carrots or onions to your taste. I put one pod of hot pepper, but this is also not important. If you do not like strong spiciness, you can exclude it, but add a few cloves of garlic.

Suitable peppers and red and green and yellow. Just be careful not to be damaged.

I’ll make a reservation right away that I don’t bother peeling a tomato. There is simply not enough time. If desired, the skin from the tomatoes can be removed.

I weigh the pepper already peeled, because there are a lot of trimmings. I also add one sharp, red pod. Who does not like, do not put it down.

2. I put a large pot on the stove for maximum heat. I pour half a glass of oil into it. And I pour the cooked tomato mass.

3. First, let it boil, then reduce the heat and stew the tomatoes for about an hour. I do not cover the lid tightly so that excess liquid evaporates. My tomatoes are large and juicy, they have a lot of juice.

If the tomatoes are dense and fleshy, not very juicy, then it is enough to stew them for 40 minutes.

4. At this time, I have time to peel and cut the peppers. I first cut it in half, clean out the insides and cut it lengthwise into several wide strips.

5. My tomatoes have been boiling for an hour, the juice has evaporated and the mass has become thick. I pour strips of sweet pepper and bitter pepper cut into small rings to them. I add fire again to boil faster. It's time to salt, pepper and add sugar.

6. After boiling, again cook on low heat for another 20 minutes. Pepper is hard and needs to be cooked longer. Therefore, I advise you to get a strip of pepper and try it. Yes, and you need to check for salt and sugar, everyone has different tastes.

7. And while it is being cooked, I sterilize the jars and scald the lids with boiling water. At the very end of cooking, pour in the vinegar, mix and remove from the stove. I pour the finished yummy, roll it up and hide it under the covers for a couple of days.

I got eight jars of 500 ml. And there's still one bowl left. We try and enjoy.

Enjoy your meal!

Recipe for bell pepper lecho with tomatoes, carrots and onions - you will lick your fingers

And this is a real vegetable platter. A large number of ingredients gives a rich, satisfying taste to the finished product. I can just eat such a lecho with a spoon from a jar. Just with bread as a complete meal. This photo shows that the tomatoes must be taken very ripe, even a little overripe. Then the sauce will be exactly red, and not red, which often happens.

Of course, you will have to tinker with this recipe. However, the richer taste of this lecho is worth the couple of hours that we spend on it. As always, most of the time is spent preparing all the components. And there are a lot of them in this recipe.

3. In the meantime, I'm cutting all the other vegetables. I pour half a glass of oil into a saucepan and put it on fire. I pour the onion chopped into half-rings there and fry it so that it only becomes transparent.

4. My carrots are cut into thin strips. You can use a grater for Korean carrots for this. Or grind as you like. It doesn't affect the taste.

5. I add carrots to the frying to the onions and stir the sauté for about five minutes. I take it off the fire. Don't forget to stir the tomatoes.

6. In the meantime, I'll take care of the peppers. Washed and de-seeded peppers cut into long, large strips.

7. My tomato sauce has been boiling for almost an hour. Well boiled and thickened. I pour fried onions with carrots and pepper strips into it.

8. You can already add salt, pour out sugar and throw in peas of allspice and black pepper. I also add chopped bitter pepper and lavrushka. I cook all this stuff with a lid for 20-25 minutes.

9. Five minutes before the end of cooking, pour in the vinegar and mix. At the end, you can also add finely chopped, or garlic cloves pressed through a press. Let it simmer a little more and take it off the stove.

Again, cooking time is relative.

10. Be sure to try whether the pepper is cooked. There are varieties that are quite tough and should be cooked longer.

11. I pour into sterilized jars. I hide under the covers for a couple of days. Then you can send it to storage in the basement. And leave a little to taste the deliciousness. Indeed, you will lick your fingers!

And finally, my favorite lecho variety. Which is as delicious as it is simple. Reminds me of Soviet times and Hungarian cans of canned food "Globe"
