  • I found this recipe for zucchini lecho in a cooking magazine. It's tried and true, so follow the steps below and you can't go wrong — you can never have too many tasty things put up for winter. Add the chopped onion and grated carrots to a large skillet, pour in the sunflower oil, and set them to sauté. You have about 10 minutes to prep everything else. Cut the zucchini and bell pepper into cubes and put them in a large pot. Add the tomato paste and twice its volume in water, then the salt. Stir in the sugar, along with the sautéed carrots and onion, mixing everything well. Bring it to a boil in the large pot and stew for 35-40 minutes. Stir in the vinegar just before the end. Ladle the mixture into jars and seal them. Done! In winter, serve it warm or cold. Enjoy!
