Leczo
Leczo is a simple yet delicious Hungarian dish of stewed vegetables, completely 100% plant-based. A combination of colorful peppers, ripe tomatoes and onions slowly cooked until soft with a distinctive sweet paprika seasoning. This dish is very special because it highlights the natural flavor of fresh vegetables, the right combination of sweet and slightly spicy flavors, and a bright, appetizing appearance, without animal ingredients. Very easy to make, can be served as a side dish, pasta sauce, or main dish with rice or bread!
