Nu har jag iofs varit ganska mycket i Ungern, och blivit bjuden p lecs ett antal gnger av olika mnniskor, och alltid har det varit som en slarvigare variant av ratatouille, allts en ren grnsaksrra som serverats som tillbehr till korv, flsk eller rentav ensam, ihop med det dr fluffiga vita brdet.
Drfr tnkte jag frst skriva att "hr var det inte mnga hstar hemma", men s gjorde jag en simpel googling, och si (den engelska versionen fr herrskapet):
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lecs%C3%B3
...There is a large variety of lecss, the base of all being a mixture of tomatoes and peppers (preferably both sweet and hot), onions, spiced with salt, sugar, a fair amount of red paprika powder and often garlic. Some recipes may also use bay leaf, ground black pepper or thyme.
To make the perfect lecs base, one must render the lard from the smoked bacon (if that is used instead of oil, which is also common), and fry the onion slices until the edges become slightly brownish. Next the pepper slices must be added and fried until crisp. The tomatoes come last because, if added at the beginning, they would soak the onions and the peppers.
One type of lecs is made with potatoes, another with cooked rice or egg barley (called tarhonya, a kind of large Hungarian couscous). It is possible to make lecs with green tomatoes, cold lecs in aspic, and to serve the warm dish with sour cream or in a pancake, as a filling. Some recipes are with meat, sausage[6] (called "kolbsz" such as lecskolbsz, made specifically for this purpose, or Debrecener sausage) bacon or smoked pork chops, liver and sliced hot dog sausages. Some are decorated with slices of hard-boiled egg or thickened with beaten eggs. Even cabbage and pumpkin may be added at times. If meat is added, it may be added first, and fried with the onions and pepper slices.
Some people eat lecs with sugar icing on top.

Lecs, like its French semi-counterpart ratatouille, often stands alone as a lunch dish, in which case it is often consumed with bread. Plain lecs can be served as a side dish accompanying various main dishes, for example meat stews like csirke papriks and prklt[7] or roasted chicken, pheasant, pork, beef or Eszterhazy steak. It is widely known in Hungary that the best lecs is made over an open fire in a "bogrcs" (a cauldron), a Hungarian style barbecue. In Hungary the dish is very popular, and even has its own festivals, e.g. in Zsmbok or Vc[8].
In Germany, lecs is referred to as Letscho and often used as the primary ingredient of a sauce that is used with many different meals. It is usually made of tomatoes, peppers, and onions among other regional additions.
In Poland, lecs (called leczo) is usually made from red pepper, courgette, tomatoes, onion and garlic, sausage, and spiced with powdered chilli pepper. Leczo should be served hot and spicy. It probably came to Poland from Hungary.

Det finns allts mnga stt att fl en katt, men om man upplever en lecs som "soppa", d r man antingen p middag hos en mycket snl eller fattig vrd.
Det som TS frgade om fr ett par r sedan,
r ngon slags soppa. Soppa som reds med ra gg kallas "Tojsos leves", s ngon sdan variant r det.
Men eftersom ungrarna r ett sopplskande land finns det myriader av muterade recept verallt, varfr det torde vara svrt att hitta ett skrivet recept med just det TS undrade ver. Jag har letat nu i en halvtimme,
p ungerska, och inte hittat ngon rtt med exakt de ingredienserna.
Vi gr ofta soppor hemma, och muterar lika ofta recepten. Lite inspiration frn ett par-tre recept ger ofta en fjrde variant. Voil!
