    Preparation Steps

    1

    Dice the bacon into small cubes. In a large skillet or pot over medium heat, cook the bacon until it's crispy and golden brown.

    2

    Finely chop the onion and garlic. Add them to the skillet with the bacon and sauté until they become translucent.

    3

    Cut the bell peppers into larger pieces, and dice the tomatoes. Add the bell peppers and tomatoes to the pot.

    4

    Season with salt, black pepper, and Hungarian sweet paprika. Mix everything well. If needed, add a little water to help the vegetables soften.

    5

    Cook for 20-30 minutes, or until the bell peppers and tomatoes are tender and the lecsó has thickened. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.

    6

    The lecsó is ready! Serve fresh, with fresh bread or rice.
