Yes! 🇭🇺 Lecsó is a beloved Hungarian pepper stew made with sweet bell peppers, tomatoes, onions, and paprika. It’s rustic, hearty, and incredibly versatile — served on its own, with eggs, rice, sausage, or even spooned over bread. It’s Hungary’s answer to ratatouille, but simpler and more paprika-forward.
