Como fazer Hungarian Lecso
- Finely chop 1 medium onion. In a large saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 5 minutes, until softened.
- Add 1 cup of water to the pan, stir well, cover, and increase the heat to high.
- Cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the water begins to reduce.
- Add 2 large bell peppers (any color), chopped, and 1-2 hot peppers (e.g., jalapeño, serrano), finely minced, to taste. Lower the heat to medium.
- Continue to cook, covered, stirring often, for 5-7 minutes, until the peppers start to soften.
- Add 28 ounces (1 large can or approximately 4 cups) of crushed tomatoes, salt to taste, and mix well. Simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the onions and peppers are very tender and the sauce has thickened slightly.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or a pinch of sugar if needed. Serve hot as a sauce for pasta, rice, fish, or as a base for soups and stews. A dollop of sour cream is a delicious addition!
