How to Make Hungarian Lecso With Eggs

  1. Finely chop 1 large onion. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add 1 (28 ounce) can of diced tomatoes, 2 bell peppers (any color, seeded and diced), and 1 teaspoon of sweet paprika. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the peppers are tender, about 10-15 minutes.
  3. Stir in 4 ounces of diced salami (about 1 cup).
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk 4 large eggs lightly with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  5. Pour the beaten eggs over the lecso mixture. Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring gently, until the eggs are set but still slightly moist, about 2-3 minutes. Do not overcook!
  6. Serve immediately with crusty bread or a side of rice. Enjoy!
