Lecso (hungarian summertime stew)
Ragout and stew
Lecso is a staple of our summer table--part stir fry, part ratatouille--and it's best when the veggies are still warm from the garden. But the vegetable component can also be frozen and added to wintertime stews like a sofrito, deepening the flavors of a pörkölt or gulyás. <br />Lecso is traditionally served over rice, but spatzle or crusty bread work too. Add your favorite protein: spicy Hungarian smoked sausage is traditional, but we've used smoked Polish sausage or chorizo, sautéed boneless chicken chunks, and even curds of scrambled eggs. Lecso also makes a nice side to grilled meats, served hot or cold. Depending on how it's served and the add-ins, lecso is appropriate for vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free diets. <br />Quantities are given per person; multiply as needed.
