  • I love lecho — to me it's the best of all canned-vegetable dishes. But this recipe came as a pleasant surprise, because here you get not just a vegetable relish but a ready-made side dish, one you can serve with meat or patties on those rough days when you really don't feel like cooking. Cut the onion into half-moons, and the pepper and carrot into strips. Dice the tomatoes very finely, or even run them through a food processor — in that case, peel them first. Halve the hot pepper, remove the seeds, and finely chop it. Put the vegetables in a large pot, and if you've puréed the tomatoes, just pour in the juice and pulp, then add the sugar and salt. Cover and simmer over low heat for forty minutes; the vegetables will release their juices, and the rice will cook through in them. Spoon the mixture into sterilized jars, cover loosely with lids, and sterilize for about another 15 minutes. Then tighten the lids, turn the jars upside down, and wrap them snugly in a blanket to cool.
