Autumn feast

Every late summer, early autumn I go crazy with pumpkins, squashes, zucchini and peppers. The one dish that lovely combines almost all of these is Lecsó or rather my variation of it.
I even love looking at the ingredients, so many tasty colours and shapes... This time I've decided to make it with meat but veggie option is delicious as well.



Recipe:

1 marrow
1 small squash
2 zucchini
3 peppers, each different colour
1 onion
400g can chopped tomatoes
minced meat, I usually use beef
cayenne pepper
any spices you fancy

Fry onion until golden, add minced meat and fry until brown.
Dice all veggies into quite big pieces and fry in a big pan or pot. Add tomatoes and meat with onion and season to taste. I like it hot so always use lots of cayenne pepper but you can also add basil, ground papprika, thyme and garlic.
Cover and turn the heat down. Cook until all veggies tender. Serve with rice or fresh bread.



It goes well with glass of wine for a cosy dinner in front of TV. Also, perfect for freezing so make a big pot and save for busy times!
