Bende Lecho

Bende Lecho is a traditional Hungarian vegetable ragout made from a savory blend of sun-ripened peppers and tomatoes. This versatile jarred staple captures the authentic taste of Eastern European home cooking, offering a rich and slightly sweet base for numerous dishes. It serves as a perfect ready-to-eat side dish or a robust foundation for a hearty meal. Simply heat it up and serve alongside grilled meats, or use it to create the classic Hungarian Lecsó by adding sliced sausages and scrambled eggs. It also works beautifully as a topping for rice or a flavor booster for stews and soups. A pantry essential for those seeking quick, authentic flavors without the prep time.
