Ingredients
2 tbs. bacon, lard or oil;
2 medium sliced onions;
2 lbs. of yellow sweet banana peppers, seeded and sliced. (Do not use green bell peppers – they have no flavor and will turn to pulp.)
3 large, very ripe tomatoes, peeled and diced. (If you cannot get good tomatoes you can use canned tomatoes if you drain them well.)
0.5 tbs. sugar;
0.5 tbs. salt;
1 tbs. paprika.
Preparation
Heat lard, add sliced onion, and cook over very low heat for 5 minutes. Add green pepper slices and cook for an additional 15 min. Add tomatoes, sugar, salt and paprika. Cook for 10 to 15 min. longer. Adjust sugar and salt to taste.
*If you are going to put sausage into it, reduce salt. Lecsó can be frozen successfully.
