Keto Hungarian Lecsó with Sausage
A simplified, keto-friendly version of Lecsó, a traditional Hungarian vegetable stew featuring bell peppers, tomatoes, onions, and sausage.
Ingredients
- about 450 g Hungarian Sausage (Csabai or Gyulai)
- 3 medium Bell Peppers (mixed colors)
- 1 large Onion
- 4 medium Tomatoes
- 2 tbsp Lard
- 1 tbsp Sweet Paprika
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black Pepper
Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.
Instructions
- 1Place a 30.48 cm skillet over medium heat (176.7°C / 175°C). Add the 2 tbsp of lard and let it melt completely.
- 2Add the about 450 g of Hungarian Sausage, cut into 2.54 cm thick rounds, to the hot lard. Cook for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides.
- 3Remove the browned sausage from the skillet and set it aside on a plate. Leave the rendered fat in the skillet.
- 4Add the 3 medium Bell Peppers, sliced into 1.27 cm strips, and the 1 large Onion, sliced into 0.635 cm thick half-moons, to the skillet. Cook, stirring often, for 8-10 minutes, until the vegetables have softened.
- 5Add the 4 medium Tomatoes, diced into 1.27 cm pieces, to the skillet. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes begin to break down.
- 6Stir in the 1 tbsp of Sweet Paprika, 1 tsp of Salt, and 0.5 tsp of Black Pepper until well combined. Return the reserved sausage to the skillet.
- 7Reduce the heat to low (121.1°C / 120°C) and simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are very tender and the flavors have melded together. The sausage should be heated through.
