Lecsó - Hungarian Vegetable Stew

This is the much talked about Lecsó. It consists of mainly Hungarian TV paprika (a kind of thin-skinned sweet paprika or chilli as we called it in Singapore). These type of paprika is special in its taste because it is grown in Hungary where its climate produces fresh paprika that is sweet instead of spicy hot that makes this Hungarian dish special.

It is a vegetable stew cooked together with tomatoes, onions and most importantly Hungarian szalonna (Szalonna is Hungarian for back bacon made of smoked pork fat with the rind). It is traditional in Hungarian cuisine.
