    Preparation Steps

    1

    Cut the pork shoulder into slices, season with salt and pepper, and set aside to rest.

    2

    Finely chop the onion and garlic. Slice the bell peppers and tomatoes into thin strips.

    3

    In a large skillet, heat the oil and sear the pork shoulder slices for 3-4 minutes per side, until nicely golden brown. Set the meat aside.

    4

    In the same skillet, sauté the onion until translucent, then add the garlic and Hungarian sweet paprika. Stir well to combine.

    5

    Add the bell peppers and tomatoes, season with salt and pepper, and simmer for 10-12 minutes, until the vegetables have softened and transformed into a juicy lecso.

    6

    Return the pork shoulder slices to the skillet and spoon the lecso over them. Cover and simmer over low heat for another 20-25 minutes, or until the meat is tender and has absorbed the flavors of the lecso.

    7

    Serve the pork shoulder with lecso with freshly cooked rice, potatoes, or crusty bread. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
