Hello Ashley,

Prepare lecsó as usual – but don’t overcook the vegetables.
Sterilize glass jars and lids by boiling them or using a hot oven.
Fill hot jars with the hot lecsó, leaving about 1 cm (½ inch) headspace.
Seal the jars tightly with sterilized lids.
Pasteurize: Place the jars in a large pot, cover with water, bring to 85–90°C (185–195°F), and hold for 30–40 minutes.
Let them cool at room temperature. Store in a cool, dark place.

Enjoy your lecso! :)

I was born in Hungary and my kids love most Hungarian dishes and I am always being asked “how do you make”. Now I can direct them to your site as the recipes are true! Love Lecso!

I could eat this every day! Love it! Thanks for the recipe.
