Lecho salad

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make lecho salad for the winter? Prepare all the necessary products. Lecho will be especially aromatic if you prepare it from seasonal vegetables collected from the garden. If possible, take bell peppers in different colors, then the finished jars will look very appetizing. Hot capsicums can be omitted. Adjust the amount of garlic to your taste.

2. STEP 2

   

   Peel the garlic. Cut the peppers into two parts along the fruit and remove the core and seeds. Rinse all vegetables thoroughly in clean cold water.

3. STEP 3

   

   Cut the bell pepper into arbitrary large pieces, feathers, or half rings as you like. Place the peppers in a large saucepan.

4. STEP 4

   

   Pass the tomatoes through a meat grinder or grate them on a coarse grater. Place the resulting tomato puree into the pan with the peppers. Add garlic cloves, cut into two to four pieces.

5. STEP 5

   

   Add salt, sugar, peppercorns to all ingredients and pour in vegetable oil.

6. STEP 6

   

   Mix everything thoroughly and place the pan on the stove. Bring the lecho to a boil over high heat, then reduce the flame and simmer the vegetables for 20-30 minutes (until the pepper is ready). During the cooking process, stir the lecho several times so that nothing burns.

7. STEP 7

   

   Taste the lecho and add the missing element (salt or sugar). Pour vinegar into the pan and keep on the stove for another 1-2 minutes.

8. STEP 8

   

   Wash and sterilize jars and lids. Divide the boiling salad into hot jars.

9. STEP 9

   

   Close the lids using the key. Turn the workpiece upside down and wrap it in a warm blanket. Leave it this way until the lecho has cooled completely.

10. STEP 10

    

    Put the finished lecho in the basement or pantry for long-term storage. Serve winter salad with meat and more.

I liked this preparation, but unfortunately the tomatoes are already gone. But I didn’t give up and made lecho salad for the winter, replacing the tomatoes with tomato paste. I did everything according to the recipe, only instead of tomatoes I took 500 ml of water and 400 g of tomato paste per 2 kg of bell pepper. I chose red pepper, because in the sauce you won’t be able to see what color it is) my pepper is juicy with thick walls. I peeled and cut the pepper into strips. For the sauce, I mixed tomato paste with water, added pepper and garlic, added salt, sugar and butter. Mixed the sauce with pepper and simmered as described in the recipe for 25 minutes. Then I poured vinegar and put it in jars. I rolled up lecho salad for the winter. It turned out to be 7 half liter jars. The taste is great. The pepper is not overcooked, holds its shape well, and the sauce is delicious. The combination of pepper and sauce is simply mind-blowing! This is not a salad, this is a real masterpiece!!!! The very next day my sister devoured 2 jars of lecho😂 I feel that such a delicious salad will not survive until winter))) Excellent recipe! I highly recommend it! Many thanks to the author for the find!!!

Every year I make lecho salad for the winter. The recipe is very simple, so even a young housewife can make it. The main thing is to wash the jars well and choose high-quality vinegar. But in winter, when you open the jar, you will remember summer. Do-it-yourself winter preparations cannot be compared with store-bought ones. You will enjoy your dish with confidence, because you prepared it yourself and know what was put into it and how. This recipe for lecho goes well with any side dish, even with potatoes or with any porridge. Prepare lecho and you will not wish for it.
