    1. Wash the tomatoes, cut them up roughly, and purée them in a blender (or run them through a meat grinder), then pour into a large heavy-bottomed pot.
    1. Seed and wash the bell peppers and cut them into strips. Peel the garlic and press it.
    1. Wash the cucumbers and slice them into rounds (if they're very large, half-moons are better).
    1. Add the prepped peppers to the pot of tomato purée, then the sugar, salt, vegetable oil, and garlic paste. Stir, set over the heat, and bring to a boil. Then reduce the heat, cover the pot, and keep cooking for 15 minutes.
    1. After that, add the prepped cucumbers to the pot, pour in the vinegar, stir, bring to a boil, and cook covered for 5 minutes.
    1. Ladle the finished lecho into hot sterilized jars and seal with sterilized lids. Turn the jars upside down, wrap them in a warm blanket, and leave until fully cooled (I always leave mine for a full day). Then move the jars to permanent storage.
  • One more note: I weighed the vegetables after trimming, so keep that in mind. This amount of ingredients made 4 pint (half-liter) jars for me.
  • Enjoy your lecho, and have a great day!
