LECHO

Hello. This is a healthy and delicious meal I made very often (sometimes even omitting Kielbasa). The only thing is I never measure the ingredients so please feel to adjust the amount of ingredients if you feel like it. This dish I know from Poland so I am not sure whether it is an orginal Lecho.

  • Cut the vegetables evenly: This will help them cook evenly. If the vegetables are not cut evenly, some pieces may be overcooked while others are still raw.
  • Cook the vegetables in a large pot or Dutch oven: This will give the vegetables plenty of room to cook evenly and prevent them from overcrowding.
  • Bring the lecho to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer: This will help the flavors to develop without overcooking the vegetables.
  • Season the lecho to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add a bit of sugar or honey to balance the acidity of the tomatoes.
  • Serve the lecho warm or cold: Lecho can be served warm as a side dish or main course, or it can be chilled and served as a salad or appetizer.

Conclusion:
