Lecso Hungarian Pepper Tomato Stew
This is a better version of this dish, according to the way I make it.
I add rice to it, once I've put the canned tomatoes in. And I usually use
Polish sausage. Or you can use any smoked sausage.
Lecso- Hungarian Pepper-Tomato Stew is a dish very similar to the Italian
peperonata. The star of the recipe is the red sweet pepper. This dish is
made with bell peppers, especially red sweet ones, onions, garlic and
tomatoes.
The sweet paprika is added to the sauce for a rich flavor.

garlic cloves chopped . 3-4 big tomatoes chopped small or canned diced
tomatoes . 1 teaspoon salt . 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper . 2
teaspoons sweet paprika . 4 tablespoons vegetable oil(I used sunflower oil,
but olive oil is good
too)

Instructions
Heat the oil in a fairly large pan and saute the chopped onion until
translucent.
Add the chopped peppers and toss them together with the onions for about 5
minutes.

another 5 minutes.
Add the chopped tomatoes of the canned diced tomatoes.Cook until the sauce
reduces and the peppers are soft and cooked.
