Hungarian Sausage Lecso served with fresh bell peppers, tomatoes and smoked sausage

Hungarian Sausage Lecso

Hungarian Sausage Lecso is one of the best-known and most popular dishes in Hungarian cuisine. The dish's origins trace back to the rural kitchen, where farmers prepared simple but nourishing meals from fresh vegetables, and to which, they could add meat sometimes. The base of lecso is pepper, tomato, and onion, which is flavored with smoked sausage to make the flavors even richer.

The history of the dish dates back to the 19th century when vegetable one-pot dishes enriched with meats became more and more widespread in the Hungarian peasant kitchen. Lecso with sausage is not only simple, but it is also one of the most delicious ways to use fresh summer vegetables, and it still has a great tradition in Hungarian families today.
