Hungarian Ratatouille with Eggs - Tojásos Lecsó

Hungarian Ratatouille (“Lecsó”) is an everyday dish in Hungary, mainly in summer when the ingredients are in season. There are several versions of Lecsó, varied by regions or personal preferences. You can make it with sausages or bacon, serve it on its own or with rice. This is a light, vegetarian option with eggs. In Hungary we use a special Hungarian white/yellow pepper for this: called TV Paprika. (TV is not the abbreviation for television in this case, TV means: “for stuffing”= “Tölteni” “Való”) Unfortunately this pepper is not available worldwide, so I used green pepper as a substitute. /The music is based on a Hungarian folk song, played and made by my husband, MrStick© 2016 - (all rights reserved)/ Ingredients (for 4) 5 medium tomatoes 4 green peppers 2 medium onions 1 garlic clove (halved) 8 eggs 3 tbsp oil 2 tbsp Paprika (preferably Hungarian) salt, pepper Optional: 2 dried chilies, some “Eros Pista”/Hungarian hot pepper paste/ 1.

Stir it thoroughly, cover the pan and cook on low heat 11. Check the dish after 15-20 minutes. If it's not juicy enough (it depends on the juiciness of the tomatoes) pour some water over. Cover and cook on low heat about 20 minutes more. 12. Take the lid off and continue cooking until almost all the liquid has evaporated. 13. Meanwhile beat the eggs with a pinch of salt 14. Pour the eggs into the pan and cook on medium heat, stirring continuously until the eggs are set and cooked through 15. Serve a nice portion with a slice of bread. Enjoy your meal!!
