Recipe 7: bell pepper and onion lecho (step by step)

For me, this is the most delicious lecho that you can think of. This juicy, tender and fragrant vegetable appetizer contains all the colors and tastes of a sunny summer. Meaty bell pepper, sweet carrot, spicy onion and rich tomato combine perfectly in this lecho, which we will prepare with you for the winter.

  • sweet pepper - 1 kg
  • tomato - 1 kg
  • onion - 400 gr
  • carrots - 400 gr
  • sugar - 100 gr
  • vegetable oil - 100 ml
  • salt - 1 tbsp.
  • table vinegar 9% - 2 tbsp.
  • bay leaf - 2 pcs
  • allspice - 5 pcs

The recipe for this simple and tasty lecho for the winter includes sweet peppers, tomatoes, onions, carrots, refined vegetable (I have sunflower) oil, 9% table vinegar, sugar, salt, bay leaf and allspice peas. You can choose any color of pepper, but it is important that the fruits are fleshy and ripe. Also take ripe tomatoes, you can even crush them - chop them anyway. From spices, you can also add a couple of cloves, but this is optional. By the way, vinegar in this recipe is lecho, although it is used, but you can neglect it or add less (although 2 tablespoons for such a quantity of vegetables is not much).

So let's start with the tomatoes first. They need to be washed and cut out from the vegetables of the place where the stalk was attached. Next, chop the tomatoes in any convenient way - you can in a food processor or through a meat grinder.

But I was too lazy to collect it and then wash it, so I just punched slices of tomatoes with a submersible blender right in the pan (I have a capacity of 4 liters), in which lecho will be cooked for the winter. The result is literally 30 seconds, and you do not need to remove the skin.

Add to tomato puree (we can say that it is juice with pulp) salt, sugar, allspice and lavrushka. If you want the lecho to be spicy, add hot pepper, but I never do that. For me, lecho is a tender snack, not spicy at all. We put the pan on the stove, bring to a boil and cook over medium heat for about 15-20 minutes. Don't forget to stir the tomatoes.

In the meantime, let's take care of the rest of the vegetables. We clean onions and carrots - we will need 400 grams of both in a peeled form.

The onion can be cut arbitrarily, but I prefer the pieces to be felt in the finished lecho. We cut large onions into 4 parts, after which we cut each one into plump quarter rings. Pour all the oil into the pan at once, warm it up and spread the chopped onion. Fry over medium heat, stirring, until translucent.

While the onion is fried, either chop the carrots on a coarse grater, or cut them into strips (thin sticks). The second option, although longer, but in the finished lecho it turns out tastier (in my opinion).

When the onion is half cooked and becomes transparent, add carrots to it and fry everything together until fully cooked. Don't forget to stir so it doesn't burn.

Meanwhile, prepare the pepper. We wash the vegetables, cut them in half lengthwise, cut out the stalks, white veins and remove the seeds.

We cut the halves ourselves arbitrarily - it is in this lecho for the winter that I love when the pepper is cut into thick sticks. In this form, pepper should be 1 kg (maybe a little more).

Well, the carrots with onions are ready - they are slightly reddened and smell pleasant (there is no longer a smell of raw onions).

By the way, without a lid for 20 minutes, tomato juice with additives managed to boil, evaporate and become thicker. Taste it: it will seem a little rich, but it should be so. We also add pepper, carrots and onions - they will absorb salt and sugar. At this stage, I advise you to remove the bay leaf, as it has already managed to give up its aroma, and then it can give bitterness in the preparation.

We shift the fried vegetables into the tomato base along with the oil.

Put the pepper pieces in there.

Stir the contents of the pot, cover with a lid and bring everything to a boil. After that, remove the lid, make medium heat and simmer vegetables in tomato sauce for about 20 minutes. During this time, gently mix everything a couple of times. It may seem that there are too many vegetables for such a volume of tomatoes, but this is not so: in the process of stewing, they themselves will release juice and there will be much more liquid.

The readiness of the pepper is determined by its texture: the pulp should become almost soft, while the skin should in no case leave (then you have simply digested it). But the pepper should not crunch either - find a middle ground for yourself personally. Before that, carrots and onions were already almost ready, so everything is clear with them.

Pour a couple of tablespoons of vinegar into the pan, mix everything and quickly cover with a lid so that the vinegar does not evaporate. Just a couple more minutes to cook.

Lecho of peppers, tomatoes, carrots and onions is ready - we close it for the winter. Jars with lids must first be sterilized - we do this while the vegetable snack itself is being prepared. Each hostess has her own favorite method, and I do it in the microwave - I wash the jars in a soda solution, rinse and pour about 100 ml of cold water into each. I steam in the microwave at the highest power for 5-7 minutes each. For example, two jars will last 6-8 minutes, and three - 10 minutes. I boil the lids on the stove for about 5 minutes. We lay out the boiling lecho in jars.

We close the lids with a typewriter or twist with screws. By the way, I am often asked if there is a difference between what kind of covers to use - screw or turnkey tin. There is no difference at all - what is at hand at the moment, then use it. Well, I hope you understand that threaded cans are also needed for screw ones?

We turn the jars with lecho upside down and wrap them with a blanket or blanket. In this position, let the vegetable preparation cool completely for the winter. Then we transfer to the basement or cellar and store until needed.

In total, from the indicated number of products, I get 3 full jars with a capacity of 0.5 liters, one 0.55 liters and another 3-4 tablespoons of lecho - for testing.

I really hope that you will like such an appetizer for the winter and that you will also make it for your family year after year. Good luck preparing for the winter, friends, and bon appetit!

Recipe 8: Sweet 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.

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

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.

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.

Pepper lecho for the winter is perhaps the brightest, most fragrant and delicious of all preparations. The bright unique smell of vegetables, combined with a rich taste, make lecho a popular type of preservation among housewives and a favorite snack among people of all ages. The secret of the popularity of lecho is that from a minimum set of seasonal vegetables you can cook a delicious treat with excellent taste and nutritional qualities. The valuable vitamin composition of the vegetables that make up this preparation is preserved during cooking with only minor errors, so pepper lecho for the winter can be considered a very healthy and highly recommended snack.

The choice of high-quality vegetables, as you might guess, is the most important moment in the preparation of lecho. The main ingredients here are bell peppers and tomatoes, so they should be ripe (but not overripe), sweet and fleshy. It is better to take red tomatoes, since lecho made with pink fruits will not have a characteristic bright color that causes appetite. Peppers also choose brightly colored and necessarily thick-walled, dense, crispy and fragrant. In principle, the color of bell pepper can be any, but it is best if the pepper is red - it is the sweetest and richest in taste, and lecho looks extremely appetizing with it. Lecho can also include onions, carrots, hot chili peppers, garlic, zucchini, eggplant, rice, beans and greens. All these ingredients make lecho so different and unique, and the variations of its preparation are really endless.

There is no strictly defined recipe for lecho from pepper for the winter, and, thanks to the numerous experiments of the housewives, countless ways of harvesting lecho for the winter have already accumulated. The principle of preparing lecho usually boils down to the following - chopped tomatoes with a meat grinder or blender are boiled together with chopped peppers and other vegetables, if the recipe implies this, table vinegar is added at the end of cooking, after which the lecho is laid out in jars. Pepper for lecho is usually cut into strips, sticks or half rings with a thickness of 1 to 2 cm. It is not necessary to grind, otherwise the vegetables will boil and will not have a pronounced taste. The addition of salt, sugar and spices is best adjusted to your taste. The degree of sweetness, spiciness and acidity of the lecho is regulated with the help of the main ingredients. So, the sweetness of the preparation is given by carrots and sugar, spiciness - hot peppers and garlic, sour notes - tomatoes and vinegar.

Pieces of sweet bell pepper in a sweet-spicy tomato sauce are a great appetizer, an independent side dish and an excellent addition to meat, poultry, fish or potatoes. In addition, pepper lecho for the winter can act as a dressing for borscht or a component of sandwiches. With the minimalism of its composition, lecho turns out to be incredibly tasty and satisfying.
