Quick and easy vegetable stew made out of onion, pepper, paprika and tomato. It's an excellent company for meat dishes but it can stand on it's own too.
Heat the oil in a large pan then add onion and sprinkle salt on top.Lecho-recipe-process
Saute it until it gets a translucent / glassy look. It should be done in 3-5 minutes on high heat while continuously stirring.
Add pepper and mix it well with the onion. Keep sauteing while stirring every now and again for another 3-5 minutes until the onion starts to get brown.
Add garlic and optionally zucchini or egg plant. Mix it well with the onion and pepper then keep sauteing for 2-3 minutes until garlic gives out its scent.
Sprinkle the paprika on top then add chopped tomatoes or tomato sauce.
Add some (about ½ cup) water to it, just to make sure the paprika won't burn down. If tomato sauce is used then this step can be skipped entirely.
Mix everything together well then put the lid on and cook it for 5 - 10 minutes until all the vegetables are tender but still firm enough.
