Bell pepper lecho with tomato paste

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 40 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to prepare bell pepper lecho with tomato paste for the winter? Prepare all the necessary products. The amount of salt and sugar can be adjusted to your taste.

2. STEP 2

   

   Wash the pepper, remove the stem and seeds, cut each fruit in half. For the beauty of the finished dish, use peppers of different colors. Peel and wash the garlic.

3. STEP 3

   

   Add tomato paste and water to the pan, stir until smooth and place everything over high heat.

4. STEP 4

   

   Follow with salt, sugar, bay leaf, finely chopped garlic and peppercorns.

5. STEP 5

   

   Cut the pepper into strips about one centimeter thick, maybe a little larger (this way the pepper will retain its taste as much as possible). If the pepper fruits are too long, the straws can be cut in half.

6. STEP 6

   

   Add the peppers to the tomato sauce in the pan and stir everything together.

7. STEP 7

   

   Bring the contents of the pan to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium and cook under a half-closed lid for about 20 minutes (remember to stir occasionally).

8. STEP 8

   

   At this time, sterilize the jars in a way convenient for you. I sterilized the jars in the oven. To do this, you need to place clean containers (along with lids) on a wire rack in a cold oven, turn on the heat to 180-200 degrees and leave for thirty to forty minutes. If jars are placed in a preheated oven, there is a possibility that the glass will crack due to a sudden temperature change.

9. STEP 9

   

   Place the finished lecho into hot (required!) jars and screw the lids on tightly.

10. STEP 10

    

    Turn the jars upside down, wrap them in a warm cloth and leave until completely cool. Then put the finished products either in the refrigerator or in the cellar. Fragrant lecho with tomato paste is ready! Good luck with your preparations and bon appetit!
