I really like different preparations where you don’t really need to bother with vegetables. Especially, in our country, it is the beautiful and medium-sized fruits that are eaten first. This means that overgrown or not very beautiful vegetables survive to harvest. That’s why I make many different types of seams where they need to be cut. It doesn't affect the taste at all. And for me, it’s even more convenient. Immediately I turned the jar into a salad bowl and the appetizer was on the table. There is no need to cut anything.

Of course, here you can take the initiative and change the ratio of vegetables. But I don’t recommend changing the amount of salt, sugar and vinegar. Still, these are preservatives, and we will roll up the appetizer without sterilization. I want no one to get upset and throw away the results of their work. This means that for the first time we comply with the proportions.

By the way, for those who did not have time to purchase table vinegar. If you mix 2.5 tsp. 70% vinegar in 100 ml of water, you get 100 ml of 9% vinegar.

Incredibly tasty lecho preparation made from cucumbers with tomatoes, carrots and bell peppers

I'll start with the mother of the popular lecho recipe. This is exactly the taste that my mother and grandmother prepared. So to speak from childhood.

There is a nuance here. The salad can be spicy if you add the entire specified amount of hot pepper with seeds. If you don’t like spicy preparations, then simply remove it from the recipe, or reduce its amount by half.

Let's take:

• 1.5 kg tomatoes,
• 1 kg of cucumbers,
• 0.3 kg sweet pepper,
• carrots - 350 g,
• garlic head,
• hot chili pepper - 2-3 pcs,
• 2 tsp salt,
• 0.5 cups sugar,
• vinegar 9% - 90-100 ml,
• 0.5 cups odorless vegetable oil.

Let's start with the fact that it is better to collect cucumbers and tomatoes immediately before harvesting. Rinse them and remove the substandard ones. Spoiled or rotten fruits.

We take a meat grinder and insert a thin grid so that we do not end up with large pieces of pulp. We take the tomatoes and cut them into pieces, getting rid of hard places and the stalk.

Grind them into puree in a meat grinder. Without removing the assistant, we peel the head of garlic and also grind all the cloves into puree.

At this stage, take the chili and also pass it through a meat grinder.

That's all for now. Pour the mixture into a saucepan with a thick bottom so that the mixture does not have time to burn. Let's put it aside and take care of the remaining products.

Separately, grate the carrots on a coarse grater.

Peel the seeds and cut the sweet pepper into small strips.

Now we do the following. Heat a frying pan, pour in vegetable oil and fry the carrots over medium heat on the stove. After 3 minutes, add the pepper strips. Simmer on the same mode for about 10 minutes.

During this time we will have time to deal with cucumbers. Cut off the ends and chop them. First, cut into 4 parts. And then each into small pieces.

Place the cucumbers and frying into the tomato mixture and add sugar, rock salt, and vegetable oil.

First, turn on the maximum heating of the stove and wait for it to boil. Then reduce it to minimum and cook for 30 minutes. 5 minutes before the end of the timer, add vinegar and finish cooking under the lid. The cucumbers will become a different, less saturated color. And the carrots and peppers are soft.

I wash the jars with regular baking soda. I always use a new, clean sponge. I inspect all containers for cracks and chips and remove those containers that I don’t like.

I sterilize them over steam, but you can do this using a microwave or oven. This is described in detail.

I boil the lids for five minutes.

And only then do we pour the lecho into clean, dry and still warm sterile jars.

We seal the lids and check if the juice is oozing from under them. We put it “under a fur coat” for natural sterilization and cooling.

Recipe for finger-licking lecho with tomato paste for the winter

Of course, not all housewives always have a kilogram of tomatoes on hand, especially those who live in urban areas. But this does not mean at all that you need to give up on cucumber lecho. We'll just go to the store and buy half a liter of good quality tomato paste. And we will use it exactly.

Let's take:

• 1 kg peppers,
• 4 kg cucumbers,
• 2 tbsp. l. rock salt,
• 200 g sugar,
• 0.5 liters of tomato paste,
• 150-200 ml 9% vinegar,
• 170 ml vegetable oil,
• garlic head.

First of all, we take out a meat grinder. We will equally need its modern electric version and the manual version from the USSR. It doesn't matter.

Wash the peppers and remove the core and seeds. We also peel the garlic and divide it into cloves.
We take these vegetables and grind them through a meat grinder. Add tomato paste to this mixture.

We remove the ends of the cucumbers and cut them into bars.

Pour the aromatic vegetable mixture over the cucumbers. Taste it and add some salt. Add sugar and vegetable oil.

Transfer the mixture to a saucepan or cauldron and cook for 15 minutes on medium heat.

Add vinegar and cook covered for another 3 minutes.

Pour the snack into sterile jars and seal them with lids.

Traditionally we place it under layers of fur coats, jackets and old blankets.

Cucumber lecho in tomato juice without carrots

A lighter version with tomato juice. I think this is one of the easiest preparations for the winter. And the result is simply delicious, someone even called this taste “just finger-licking good.”

• 2 garlic heads,
• sunflower oil - 160 ml,
• vinegar 9% - 60 ml,
• sugar - 6 tbsp. l.,
• salt - 2 tbsp. (70 gr).

Soak the vegetables so that they can be washed quickly and easily.

We take a meat grinder with a fine grid and make tomato juice. We skip all the tomatoes, but first remove any bruised or damaged areas. Cut off the stems. If the peppers are juicy, then they can also be chopped in a similar way. I'll do just that.

We pass the garlic through a meat grinder there. Pour the vegetable puree into a cauldron and add vegetable oil. I take unscented sunflower. Add salt and sugar to taste.

Boil the mixture and cook for 10 minutes, stirring over medium heat on the stove. It will gurgle and puff, so you can cover it with a lid.

In the meantime, cut the cucumbers into bars or circles. Depends on your preferences.

Cut the onion into half rings.

Add onions and cucumbers to the tomato mixture.

Bring it to a boil again and cook for 7 minutes. But three minutes before the end of cooking, add vinegar.
Of course, we have already prepared all the jars in advance, which means they can be filled with salad.

And put it away for the winter.

The tomatoes are cut into pieces and each one is grated, and the remaining skin is thrown away. The sweet pepper is also divided into 2 pieces and the seeds are removed along with the stalk. Then this vegetable is crushed into cubes 3 mm in size. Zelentsy is cut lengthwise into 4 parts and crosswise. The straw is up to 7 cm long.

Chopped cucumbers, tomatoes and peppers are combined in a container of suitable size, salt and sunflower oil are added to them. Stir and add crushed garlic.

• onion head;
• ketchup;
• dill greens;
• garlic cloves;

Prepared cucumbers are kept in a bowl of cold water for an hour or two. They will become saturated and crispier. Afterwards they are taken out and crushed into half rings or circles. It all depends on the size of the vegetables.

But its incredible popularity has led to the emergence of many different options for its preparation. And this is very wonderful, since every housewife will find her favorite recipe.

And to determine which lecho recipe is most suitable for you, you need to try preparing several and choose the most delicious options for yourself.

We'll start with a simple classic recipe with only two main ingredients - bell peppers and tomatoes. But despite its simplicity and lightness, the snack turns out incredibly tasty. Therefore, if you do not want to spend a lot of time on preparations, then pay attention to this recipe.

Ingredients:

• tomatoes - 2 kg
• sweet pepper - 2.5 kg
• sugar - 1/2 cup
• salt - 1 tbsp. l. (with a slide)
• vinegar 9% - 2 tbsp. l.

We need to grind the tomatoes in a blender, the result is a thin mass. Pour it into a saucepan, and we will cook the lecho in it.

Add salt and sugar, mix well and place the pan on the stove. Bring to a boil over low heat.

Take your time and do not turn on the stove on high heat, otherwise the lecho on the bottom may burn.

When the tomato mixture boils, add vegetable oil.

We need to cut the sweet pepper into small pieces.

Try to choose thicker, meatier peppers for lecho, then you will feel it much more clearly in the finished dish.

After the tomato mass boils, add the peppers to the pan as well. Cover with a lid to make it boil faster, and after boiling, cook for 30 minutes over low heat. At the very end, add vinegar.

The jars in which we will put the lecho will need to be pre-sterilized, and the lids accordingly.

We put the finished lecho into jars, close the lids and turn it upside down.

For me, such a preparation always disappears before the New Year holidays. Try it too.

Place the pan on the stove, add salt, sugar, a couple of bay leaves and allspice. If desired, you can add black peppercorns. Bring the whole mass to a boil and cook for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally so as not to burn. You can remove the bay leaf at this point, although I sometimes leave it on for added flavor.

Prepare the onion, cut it into small cubes. Fry it in a frying pan in vegetable oil. Fried onions add a special sweetish taste to our dish.

Grate the carrots on a coarse grater, and when the onion becomes translucent, that is, almost ready, add the carrots to the frying pan with the onions. Stir constantly and fry over low heat until cooked. Place vegetables in tomato mixture.

Cut the bell pepper into small pieces and place it in a pan with other vegetables. To bring the whole mass to a boil, cover the pan with a lid, and after boiling, simmer for about 20 minutes. Don't forget to stir a couple of times.

Just before the end of cooking, add vinegar, bring to a boil again and the dish is ready. Place the lecho in clean jars and cover with sterilized lids.

Place the jars in a pan of boiling water and sterilize each jar for 10 minutes (this is the time for 0.5 liter jars).

Before placing jars in a pan for sterilization, place a towel or any cloth on the bottom for softness.

Cucumber lecho - an incredibly tasty appetizer

Since my childhood, lecho was perceived only from bell peppers and tomatoes. And much later I learned that there are a huge number of variations of this wonderful dish. I suggest you try it with cucumbers too, it’s very tasty. Moreover, there are a lot of cucumbers this year.

A simple recipe without sterilization of bell peppers and tomatoes

This is one of the simplest recipes, similar to the first classic lecho recipe. The name without sterilization does not mean that we will not take care of the long-term preservation of our supplies. Jars with blanks, if you want to store them for a long time, must be sterilized. The only difference is that in this recipe we simply sterilize the jars and lids in advance, and then we will not need to boil them along with the contents. And vinegar also serves as a preservative.

• sweet pepper - 3 kg
• vegetable oil - 250 ml.

• black and allspice

We sterilize the jars in advance in the oven, over steam or in the microwave. If you cannot choose a sterilization method, perhaps this article will help you.

Pour the tomato pulp into a saucepan, and we will simmer in it. Add salt, sugar and vegetable oil. Mix everything and put it on the stove. Bring to a boil.

While the tomato mixture is boiling, chop the peppers. First we clean them from seeds and cut them into small pieces or strips, this is not important. After the tomatoes boil, add the chopped pepper.

After boiling, reduce the heat and simmer the vegetables over low heat for 20 minutes.

Try not to overcook the pepper, otherwise it will be tasteless, overcooked and very soft.

All that remains is to put the lecho into sterilized jars and screw it on with a pre-boiled metal lid.

We do not turn the jars over, but cover them with a warm blanket or blanket until they cool completely.
