Hungarian Lesco

[Guest guest]

My mother makes this all summer long when the veggies are cheaper and abundant.

Sorry if images are not allowed just let me know.

My mother also use to make a version of this with beer added to it, boiled

longer to reduce the moisture, and served it over steak strips. I do that using

Morning Star meal starter steak strips and serve it next to mashed potatoes.

Lecsó

 

3 tablespoons vegetable oil

 

1 large onion, diced

 

2 teaspoons paprika, Hungarian

 

2 lb sweet bell peppers

 

4 large beef steak tomatoes; cut into chunks

 

1/2 teaspoon salt

 

Wash and dry whole peppers on paper towel. Remove stem and core, slice. In the

meantime sauté the diced onion in the oil on medium high heat until it begins to

look transparent. Add the peppers, continue to sauté stirring often. In a few

minutes the peppers collapse and are tender. Stir in the salt, paprika and the

tomatoes. Continue to cook until the tomatoes turn mushy. Serve with buttered

sourdough bread, rice or boiled potatoes. This can be eaten cold as well as

warm!
