There are a great many recipes for lecho, as you can see by reading our article. And each housewife has her favorite option, or even more than one, of preparing this dish. Someone prefers a delicate taste, others like the spicy option.

Recipe for spicy lecho



Lecho is originally a dish of Hungarian cuisine, which is famous for its "sharpness". For its original taste and satiety, lecho quickly appeared on the menu of the countries of central and eastern Europe, and today it is one of the most popular preparations for the winter.
Often lecho is made from zucchini and eggplant, but we will be true to the classics and share traditional recipe lecho, based on tomatoes and bell peppers.
Ingredients:
tomatoes - 3 kg;
bell pepper - 3 kg;
hot red pepper - 1-2 pods;
salt - 4 tablespoons;
sugar - 1.5 cups;
apple cider vinegar 6% - 60-80 ml;
2 bay leaves;
peppercorns 6-8 pieces;
vegetable oil - 200 ml.
We twist the tomatoes in a meat grinder, simmer for 15 minutes over low heat, then add salt, sugar, vegetable oil, put chopped peppers there and cook over low heat for 20 minutes. After that, add peppercorns, lavrushka, vinegar and boil for about 5 minutes more. Arrange in sterilized jars and close.
At the last stage, we put the closed jars upside down, “wrap up” and leave to cool completely for 1-2 days.

Sweet and spicy bell pepper lecho



The main ingredients for any lecho are fresh tomatoes and fresh bell peppers. At the same time, it is much better to take the most ripe tomatoes than unripe and hard ones - they will still be ground into juice.
It is advisable to take peppers for lecho in different colors. The fact is that in peppers different color contains a different amount of certain vitamins and useful elements. Therefore, lecho from green, red and orange peppers will be much more useful than exclusively from red or exclusively from green peppers.
The ratio is 1 kilogram of pepper to 2 kilograms of tomatoes. Garlic, hot pepper and other spicy ingredients - to taste. It is advisable to take a fixed amount of salt and sugar - this will make the lecho moderately sweet. In the traditional version, half a glass of sugar is taken per kilogram of bell pepper, and a teaspoon of salt is enough for this volume.
Tomatoes must be crushed in any accessible way, having previously removed the peel from them, scalded ahead of time with boiling water. Blender, grater, meat grinder - any method will do. The main thing is that the tomatoes turn into tomato slurry.
Bulgarian peppers, on the other hand, need to be cut into small pieces (although some people like it when almost a quarter of whole peppers float in the lecho). Peeled garlic should be cut into small pieces.
After that, vegetable oil must be poured into the tomatoes at the rate of 50 grams per kilogram of tomatoes. Pour in all the garlic and mix well. After that, the resulting mass must be poured into a saucepan or cauldron and begin to cook over high heat, after the start of boiling, reduce the gas. After boiling, add sugar and salt to the tomato juice, stirring the mass well again.
Next, you need to add all the bell peppers to the tomatoes and wait for the mass to boil again. After that - pour in a little more oil (30 grams per kilogram of tomatoes) and add a little vinegar - for preservation.
The resulting mixture must be poured into sterilized jars and rolled up. Lecho should stand in a dark and relatively cool place. Cans cannot be left in the sun - otherwise they will explode, decorating the room with cheerful divorces and streaks, as well as refreezing - then the taste will not be so saturated. The approximate shelf life of such a lecho is about eight months.

After receiving a certain amount of tomato juice, add salt, sugar and vegetable oil there. Put the tomato juice on low heat and bring to a boil. After boiling, the mixture should continue to stand on a very slow gas for another forty minutes.

We continue the conversation about what food can be considered right for weight loss, and what is not. This article was prompted by the controversy over the fact that various dressings and sauces for main dishes carry a lot of calories. And in general, it is not clear what they are made of there. You read the composition - everything seems to be fine, but in fact there is no certainty that it corresponds to the label.

Today I want to offer you such an option as lecho. Yes, in our country it is more often used as a sauce and addition to the main dish. For example, lecho can be mixed with spaghetti and you get very personal. Do you know that in the rest of the world bell pepper lecho is eaten as a side dish? And that doesn't go against the principles at all. proper nutrition. See for yourself - lecho is based on bell peppers, tomatoes and onions. All of these products belong to .

The recipes I offer, of course, take time. It is necessary not only to do it, but also to roll it into banks. I tried to choose the simplest recipes in terms of choice and availability of products, but at the same time the most delicious. Lick your fingers, as they say. Instead of tomatoes we will use tomato paste or tomato juice to speed up the process.

Bell pepper lecho with tomato paste

Let's start with the classic recipe, and along the way we will bring our own "chips" to the recipes.


To prepare a classic lecho with tomato paste, you will need:

  • Bulgarian pepper - 2kg
  • Tomato paste - 500g
  • Water - 0.5l
  • Vegetable oil - 200ml
  • Vinegar 9% – 100ml
  • Sugar - 150g

Wash and cut peppers. Remove pulp and seeds. It can be cut into both cubes and straws. From the form, neither the taste nor the consistency of the finished dish will change. Do as you please. Get a pot that's the right size to hold all the ingredients. Throw in the pepper.


In a separate bowl, combine water, salt, sugar and tomato paste. Put on fire and bring to a boil, stirring constantly.


Then pour the resulting dressing into a saucepan with pepper, add vegetable oil, mix everything well and put the saucepan on a slow fire.


After the lecho boils, the cooking process should continue for another 15 minutes. Do not forget to stir it periodically during this time. When 15 minutes have passed, pour the vinegar into the pan and let it boil (it will take about 5 minutes), after which you can remove the pan from the heat.


We lay out the still hot lecho with a spoon in pre-prepared sterilized jars. From the amount indicated in the ingredients, 5 half-liter jars will be obtained. You can use jars with a twist-on lid, or you can roll them up the old fashioned way.


In order to check the tightness, the jars need to be turned upside down, placing them on a cotton towel. After making sure that everything is fine, you need to wrap the jars and leave them to cool completely. Then store them in a cool dark place. Do you have a cellar?


So, after spending no more than one hour, you can cook not just a winter supply of vitamins, but a full-fledged dietary side dish.

Bell pepper lecho with onions and carrots

The following recipe can hardly be called a classic, but it is very popular with us. In it, carrots and onions are added to the pepper. I don’t know where this variant originated, but it is also very tasty. I suspect that it appeared at a time when pepper was not yet a ubiquitous vegetable and the rest of the ingredients were sent in order to get more product in the output. However, this variant is very successful in terms of flavor combinations and is therefore very popular.

Ingredients:

  • Bulgarian pepper - 1.5 kg
  • Carrots - 1kg
  • Tomatoes - 2kg or tomato paste - 500g
  • Onion - 4 pieces of medium size
  • Sunflower oil - 150ml
  • Vinegar 70% - 1 tbsp
  • Sugar - 7 tablespoons
  • Salt - 1.5 tbsp

If you want to use tomato paste instead of tomatoes, then prepare another half liter of boiled water to dilute it.


Cooking:

If you use tomatoes, then first of all you need to make tomato juice from them. To do this, simply pass them through a meat grinder using a disk with the smallest holes, or a juicer. At the same time, it is absolutely not necessary to peel off the skin, everything will be ground and you will have additional fiber in the lecho. If using tomato paste, then dilute and stir it in warm boiled water.


We cut the pepper into petals, carrots not into thick rings, but onion into half rings. No need to try to cut vegetables as small as possible, you are not cooking caviar. They should keep their shape after processing and not fall apart when it comes time to take them out of the can.


Pour the tomato paste (or the tomato juice you have) into a large saucepan and add sugar, salt and sunflower oil to it. Once again, mix everything well and put the pan on the fire.


On high heat, bring the mass to a boil and, as soon as it boils, reduce the heat to a minimum and add pepper and carrots to the future lecho. At the same stage, you need to pour vinegar into the pan and mix everything.

In general, the more often you stir, the better. Will not burn

After the mass boils again, you need to detect another 10 minutes, then add the onion and, if desired, a small handful of black peppercorns (10 things).

After that, cook lecho for another 10 minutes, stirring constantly.


After that, remove the pan from the heat and lay out the still hot mass in sterilized jars. We fill to the very top and close or roll up the jars. We turn them upside down and put them on the lid until they cool, wrapping them in a cotton towel.


The most convenient volume seems to me to be 0.5 liter cans. From the amount of ingredients that I gave at the beginning, you get 8 half-liter jars of delicious homemade lecho with onions and carrots.


Bell pepper lecho with zucchini

But such a lecho can really successfully replace a side dish for meat. Because, in fact, it will not turn out to be a lecho, but a vegetable stew made from rich foods, which will have a beneficial effect on digestion in the short term and on the figure in the long term. In this case, the zucchini will be the main component of the dish.


Ingredients:

  • Zucchini - 1.5 kg
  • Bulgarian pepper - 3pcs (300g)
  • Tomatoes - 1kg or 500ml tomato paste
  • Carrots - 3pcs (250g)
  • Onion - 3 pcs
  • Sunflower oil - 150ml
  • Vinegar 9% - 3 tablespoons
  • Sugar - 2 tbsp
  • Salt - 1 tbsp
  • One hot pepper for those who like it spicier

Cooking:

First of all, let's prepare the zucchini. For lecho, a well-ripened fruit is quite suitable. Remove the peel from it, cut it lengthwise and remove all the seeds. Then cut it into small sticks.


Then prepare the bell pepper. We remove the stalk, cut it, remove the seeds and partitions and cut into cubes or straws.


Then finely chop the onion, and grate the carrots.


The difference between this recipe and the previous ones is that before you cook lecho, you must first fry the zucchini. Therefore, a thick-walled pan should be used as a container for cooking. And ideally - a cauldron.

We put it on medium heat, pour sunflower oil into it and add zucchini. Next we send carrots and onions.


Fry the mixture for 40 minutes, stirring occasionally.

After 40 minutes, pour tomato paste prepared in a blender into the pan, or store-bought from a can, diluted in half a liter of boiled water. And then we fall asleep bell pepper.


At the same time, add sugar and salt and mix everything thoroughly. After that, leave the mass to stew for 15-20 minutes.


5 minutes before the end of cooking, add vinegar to the lecho. Let it boil for the last time and remove from heat.

After that, we lay out the still hot mass in pre-sterilized jars and close it with boiled lids.


Next, we perform the usual actions, turn the jars over to make sure they are tight, cover them with a towel and leave it like that until it cools. Then they can be sent to a dark and cool storage place.

Is it possible to make lecho without vinegar

Vinegar is perceived by many people as a spice, designed to give winter preparations a characteristic flavor that we have been accustomed to since childhood. But he plays a much more important role. Vinegar is needed in order to prevent bacteria from developing in the jar and to prevent spoilage of the product. If your jars began to explode and shoot off the lids, then the bacteria still managed to survive in them and the fermentation process began with the release of carbon dioxide. And the product is broken.

In the case of lecho, all products undergo heat treatment and it seems like bacteria have no chance. But there are still banks. Where is the guarantee that the sterilization took place under ideal conditions? It is very difficult to create them in the kitchen.

The acidic environment created by vinegar does not allow bacteria to develop and allows the contents of the jars to be preserved for a long time. This is good. The bad thing is that such products are not recommended for people suffering from high acidity of the stomach, gastritis, ulcers and other diseases of the gastrointestinal tract.

In this case, you can replace acetic acid for lemon at the rate of 1 tbsp per two-liter jar. Citric acid is milder in taste and less irritating to the gastric mucosa.

If you decide not to use either one or the other, then you run the risk of being left without your supplies in a couple of weeks.

Good luck with your preparations and until new recipes!

Hello, to all crazy (in a good sense of the word) lovers of preparing delicious salads with tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchini and other vegetables for the future for the winter. I have already dashed off several dozen different cans, and now it's the turn to cook bell pepper lecho for the winter. I will share my cooking recipes.

Lecho appeared in Hungary - it was there that they came up with a delicious salad of tomatoes and peppers. Remember jars in the store in Soviet times? The taste is amazing sweet and sour. Ideal as an appetizer, delicious with meat and potatoes. All useful properties are preserved in this dish. In addition to tomatoes and bell peppers, housewives cook lecho with carrots, onions, eggplants and other vegetables.

To make the taste of the salad rich, you need to choose ripe fleshy tomatoes. Size doesn't matter. Pepper is preferable to take a red hue, but you can also multi-colored. The main thing is that the pulp is juicy and sweet. We do not take unripe fruits - from this the taste will not be the same.

I always try salad when cooking. The pepper should remain firm enough not to turn into mush. When biting, the characteristic crunch of a fresh vegetable disappears, but at the same time it does not fall apart. This means that he has reached his necessary state.

Lecho from bell pepper for the winter

I took the recipe for bell pepper lecho for the winter from my old cookbook. He's in the front row there. And once upon a time I cooked according to it, until I found out other recipes. But about them below.

  • 3 peas of black pepper;
  • 2 tbsp salt;
  • 1 tbsp vinegar essence;

How to cook:

  • As you already understood, the tomatoes were passed through the grate of the meat grinder. The skin was removed first. To do this, the tomatoes were first dipped in boiling water for a couple of minutes, then in cold water. I don't make any cuts. And everything is so easy to remove. I have a ladle of water on the stove on a quiet fire, and I periodically change cold water, because. it heats up quickly;
  • Cut the red pepper into strips and simmer for 30 minutes in water;
  • We prepare the marinade from the recipe list and boil it over low heat for 30 minutes. Before turning off the fire, pour in the essence;
  • We prepare banks in advance. I usually take small, half a liter. Rinse with soda, drain;
  • Drain the water and put the pepper in jars. Pour the marinade on top and set to sterilize for 10-15 minutes. Roll up, cool under a warm blanket.
