Lecso

Quick and easy vegetable stew made out of onion, pepper, paprika and tomato. It’s an excellent company for meat dishes but it can stand on its own too.

As I currently have some time, I was surfing on the internet the other day. Trying to find fresh, exciting tips, inspirational dishes that I have never tasted before, to surprise my loved ones with. Looking for quite some time unfortunately could not discover lots of interesting stuff. Right before I wanted to give up on it, I discovered this delicious and easy treat by accident over Suncakemom. It looked so delightful on its snapshot, that called for rapid actions.

It absolutely was not so difficult to imagine how it’s made, its taste and just how much boyfriend will love it. Mind you, it is quite easy to please the man when it comes to desserts. Anyhow, I visited the site and used the step-by-step instuctions which were coupled with great pics of the procedure. It just makes life quite easy. I could suppose it’s a bit of a inconvenience to shoot photos in the midst of baking in the kitchen because you usually have gross hands thus i really appreciate the effort and time she placed in to make this blogpost .

With that in mind I am encouraged presenting my personal dishes in the same way. Many thanks for the concept.

I had been fine tuning the initial mixture create it for the taste of my family. I must mention it was an awesome success. They prized the flavour, the consistency and loved getting a treat such as this in the midst of a stressful workweek. They ultimately wanted more, more and more. So next time I am not going to commit the same miscalculation. I’m likely to double the quantity to get them pleased.

The Lecho Recipe is from SunCakeMom

Heat the oil in a large pan then add onion and sprinkle salt on top.Lecho-recipe-process

Saute it until it gets a translucent / glassy look. It should be done in 3-5 minutes on high heat while continuously stirring.

Add pepper and mix it well with the onion. Keep sauteing while stirring every now and again for another 3-5 minutes until the onion starts to get brown.

Add garlic and optionally zucchini or egg plant. Mix it well with the onion and pepper then keep sauteing for 2-3 minutes until garlic gives out its scent.

Sprinkle the paprika on top then add chopped tomatoes or tomato sauce.

Add some (about ½ cup) water to it, just to make sure the paprika won’t burn down. If tomato sauce is used then this step can be skipped entirely.

Mix everything together well then put the lid on and cook it for 5 – 10 minutes until all the vegetables are tender but still firm enough.
