Classic lecho with onions and tomatoes

The first recipe is the most common. Surely, your grandmother, mother or mother-in-law closed the world seaming just like that. We join the classics, where pepper is accompanied only by onions and tomatoes.

We need:

  • Bulgarian pepper - 3 kg (weighed in a purified form)
  • Tomatoes - 2 kg (+/- 20 pieces of medium size)
  • Onions - 10-12 pieces of medium size
  • Vegetable oil - 1 cup
  • Sugar - 1 cup
  • Table vinegar 9% - 100 ml
  • Coarse rock salt - to taste

* For this amount of vegetables, we need 2 tbsp. spoons without a slide

*1 glass - 250 ml

* Garlic can be added to taste - 3-4 large cloves

  • Sterilized jars of 500 ml or 1 liter

How to cook.

We sterilize jars. Convenient way in the oven:

  • We wash jars and lids with a brush with soda (!).
  • We put in a cold (!) oven at 120-130 degrees Celsius.
  • After heating the oven to the set temperature, we keep the jars there for 5-7 minutes. We make sure that the jars are completely dry.
  • Pour the lids with boiling water - for 5-7 minutes.

Let's get to the vegetables.

Wash the colorful set of ingredients well. Clean the peppers and onions.

Cut the peppers lengthwise into 4 pieces. The last cut is across, in increments of about 1 cm, to make short strips.

Let's move on to tomatoes.

The general rule for all recipes is lecho.

If the tomatoes are thin-skinned, simply cut and interrupt on a brander or twist in a meat grinder.

If the variety is thick-skinned, then first we cut each tomato crosswise (on the butt) and scald it with boiling water. Then the tomatoes are very easy to peel and twist already without the skin.

We clean and cut the onion the way you like it in the finished salad: half rings, quarter rings or a medium cube.


For stewing, we use large dishes - enameled or stainless steel.

We put the tomato puree on the fire and add sugar and butter. If you are sure of the amount of salt, then you can immediately add salt. Although the taste, the color - there is no comrade. For the first time, we advise you to add salt at the end of the stew, adjusting the salinity to your tastes.

Stir the puree and add the chopped onion. Stir again and heat to a boil, stirring occasionally. Cook the onion in tomato puree after boiling for literally 1-2 minutes.



Pour the pepper, mix well and heat until boiling. From the moment it boils, cook for 10-15 minutes. Here be sure to try piece by piece to turn it off in time. Pepper should be soft, but not boiled. Elastic tenderness is the best texture of the protagonist of a delicious lecho.



As soon as the pepper is cooked, pour in the vinegar and let it boil. Turn off the heating.

If we use garlic, then chop it into a small cube and add at the end along with vinegar.

We try lecho for salt and sugar. If necessary, add the desired accent. We love the balanced sweet and sour taste, where there is enough salt.

We shift the hot dish into sterilized jars, filling them to the top. We roll it up with an iron lid, turn it over and cover it with a blanket - for slow cooling.



Store ideally in a cool place. But it can also be done at room temperature. The margin of safety of the workpiece will last until spring.


Below we offer you 3 more options for lecho with bell pepper. They are different, but the children's delight "You'll lick your fingers!" will suit everyone.

Lecho with carrots for more sweetness

After the first successful seaming, we immediately fell in love with the extended line-up. We are very dedicated fans of carrots and cabbage.

  • Adding carrots to lecho is very simple! For the amount of vegetables from the classic recipe above, it is enough to take 5-8 medium carrots. Three large carrots, such chopping is universal.
  • We also love a more refined version - straws of various sizes (“Hurrah!” Grater Berner). Semicircles or circles of small thickness (0.5-0.8 cm) will also turn out tasty. With this cutting, one of the 3 main Berner nozzles also helps us.
  • Add thin sliced ​​carrots along with pepper.
  • Further - according to the algorithm described above.

If the carrots are in thick circles (1 cm), add it to the pepper, let it boil and cook for 5-7 minutes.


Lecho without vinegar for a curious experiment

It's also delicious and keeps well. If you are confused by the lack of vinegar as a preservative, then you can safely take a chance. One jar for the sake of an experiment is not such a big consumption of products.

We ourselves were surprised how well such a seaming is stored. Of course, it is desirable to put it in a cool place (a closet on a cold balcony, loggia, in the cellar). Although, if you overcome inertia and think, thanks to tomatoes, acid in lecho is more than enough. Three to four months, such a blank will stand without problems.

The only point in the recipe is the increased attention to the sterility of the seaming tool and containers.

We need:

  • Tomatoes - 3 kg (about 30 pieces of medium size)
  • Sweet peppers - 6-7 large vegetables (take at least half red ones)
  • Sugar - 1 cup
  • Salt - 1 tbsp. spoon with slide
  • Garlic - 6-7 large cloves

How to cook is well described in the video.

note for a large cut of pepper. This method can be applied in the classic recipe.

Follow the step-by-step presentation with close-ups and text prompts on the frames. Even a novice hostess will succeed!

Eggplant lecho - a favorite of the older generation

A boring recipe for blue lovers.

We need:

  • Eggplant - 2 kg
  • Bulgarian pepper - 500 g
  • Carrot - 500 g
  • Tomatoes - 1 kg
  • Onion - 4 pcs. medium size
  • Garlic - 3-4 cloves
  • Sugar - 100 g
  • Salt - 2 tbsp. spoons without a slide
  • Vinegar 9% table - 100 ml
  • Sunflower oil - 200 ml

How to cook.

All vegetables are washed.

Cut eggplant into medium cubes. Then pre-boil the vegetables in salted boiling water - 5 minutes. And draining the water through a colander, let the eggplant cool. Such a short boil removes bitterness from the blue.


Another way to anti-bitterness: you can salt and wait until the juice stands out, then rinse in a colander. Choose the pre-treatment option that is convenient for you. We do not recommend doing without it. Seaming may not be bitter, but there is a high risk that it will be poorly stored.

We cut the tomatoes into large pieces and interrupt with a blender until smooth. You can also rub it on a coarse grater.

Finely chop the red pepper. We love slicing close to the classic, like in the first recipe above. Look at the photo below: you need a long straw. Peeled pepper cut lengthwise into 4 parts. For long straws, cut each part again lengthwise (!) into thin strips.


Grind the garlic the way we like it in the finished dish. We did it differently. The best options: when the garlic is chopped into thin sticks or a small cube. Although a quick option is also suitable - to rub or push through.

Cut the onion into thin half rings or a thin arc across.

Three carrots on a coarse grater. You can use a Berner to make thin, short straws.


Saute the onion in a hot skillet with oil for 1-2 minutes. Add carrots and simmer another 3-5 minutes.


Add chopped peppers, chopped tomatoes and eggplant slices. Simmer vegetables for 35-40 minutes.


15 minutes after combining all the ingredients, add sugar.

We store the finished seaming for 4-5 months, preferably in a cool place. An unheated glazed balcony / loggia is suitable for the apartment.

Eggplant lecho is loved by the older generation of the family. We take it easy on him. Eggplant is a specific vegetable, especially for baby food.

Choosing from two options with large summer vegetables, we often prefer a la lecho salads with zucchini. We have . It is more neutral and ridiculously easy to make from any zucchini (old ones too!), the cheapest tomato and bell peppers of any color.

That's all for today. Although no! A little more about the benefits. Red bell peppers and tomatoes contain powerful antioxidant lycopene. Its advantageous feature is stability during heat treatment of vegetables. This means that due to boiling and stewing, both lecho, and tomato paste, and other salad rolls with vegetable sources of lycopene contain a lot of healing carotenoid for good health.
