Hungarian lecho Globus for the winter - we prepare lecho as before, according to the old Globus recipe

Having tried it once, many housewives began to experiment and look for the same taste as in the store-bought Globus, which was produced in Hungary at that time. By the way, many housewives, for some reason, mistakenly call it the Bulgarian lecho Globus. Maybe because sweet peppers are called bell peppers. 😉 But, be that as it may, Hungarian canning factories do not give away their secrets, or maybe just home conditions do not allow reproducing all the factory conditions, but such a desired Hungarian-style lecho does not come out with a taste identical to the original according to all recipes. I will now present to you one of the most successful recipes that will allow you to make delicious Hungarian lecho for the winter like before “Globus”. This homemade Globus lecho tastes very similar to the previous version, and if you like the “taste of the preparation like in the USSR,” then be sure to prepare it according to this recipe.

What do we need for this blank:

• bell pepper – 1 kg;
• tomatoes – 1 kg;
• onions – 0.5 kg;
• salt, sugar - to taste;
• vegetable oil – 100 g;
• vinegar – 50 ml;
• bay leaf – 3 pcs;
• peppercorns – 10 pieces.

How to prepare Hungarian leczo Globus for the winter

Cooking begins with preparing the tomatoes. In a traditional Globe you will not see seeds and you will have to stick to the same technology. Put the tomatoes through a juicer rather than just puree them in a blender. If you don’t have a juicer, puree the tomatoes in a blender, boil the juice, and as soon as it cools, grind it through a sieve to get rid of the peel and seeds.

Peel the onion and grind it into a pulp with a blender or meat grinder.

Pour tomato juice, onion pulp and vegetable oil into a deep saucepan. Place the pan on low heat and take care of the pepper.

Peel the bell pepper and cut it into large squares or strips. Slowly pour all the peppers into a saucepan with boiling juice, add salt and pepper, and see if your jars are ready. We prepare Lecho Globus without pasteurization and it is necessary that the jars with lids are perfectly sterile.

After adding pepper, winter tomato salad with bell pepper needs to be cooked for another 15 minutes. A minute before cooking, add vinegar, bay leaf and peppercorns to the pan. Stir and wait until the lecho boils steadily. Well, it's time to arm yourself with a ladle and pour the boiling lecho into jars.

Some housewives prefer to prepare this pepper salad thicker. In this case, you can add carrots, grated on the finest grater, to the lecho. The “recognizable” pieces in the Globe should be exclusively pieces of pepper; all other vegetables should only be in the form of puree.

Homemade lecho "Globus" with the addition of vinegar can be stored at temperatures up to +18 degrees in a dry and dark place for up to 12 months.
