It's time to harvest. If you have a summer house, then you are probably familiar with this period when vegetables ripen together and you literally don’t know where to put them. The solution is simple - prepare lecho for the winter. Most often they use bell peppers, carrots, tomatoes and onions. Zucchini, eggplant, garlic and even cabbage are often added. In a word, everything that is lying around at home can go to treatment.
I don’t know about you, but in our family not a single harvesting season is complete without aromatic lecho. I have a lot of recipes, I’ve tried a lot and have many more in my plans. You can also find many of them on this site. Preparing lecho is very simple. Any housewife will tell you this. Even if you haven’t tried this yet, don’t be afraid - cook with confidence. The main thing is to follow the step-by-step recipe and sterilize the jars well beforehand.
What I also like about making lecho is that you can put overripe, ugly vegetables there that would not go into a jar for whole canning. In addition, an indisputable fact is that such a snack is very tasty and will never stagnate on the table!

Cooking step by step:
To prepare stuffed peppers in tomato sauce, we will need the following ingredients: sweet peppers, carrots, onions, tomato juice, refined vegetable oil (I used sunflower oil), granulated sugar, salt, ground black pepper, 9% table vinegar and allspice peas.
First, let's prepare the vegetable filling for the sweet peppers. Peel the onions (net weight - 400 grams) and cut into small cubes.
Pour 150 milliliters of odorless vegetable oil into a wide and deep frying pan (mine is 28 cm), heat it and add chopped onion. Fry over medium heat, stirring, until transparent.
Meanwhile, peel the carrots and chop them on a coarse grater. 800 grams is the weight of already peeled carrots.
When the onions become translucent, it's time to add the carrots.
It turns out quite a lot, so take bulky dishes. Stir the vegetables, add 1 level teaspoon of salt and a generous pinch of ground black pepper. Simmer the carrots and onions under the lid, stirring occasionally, until soft.
While the vegetables are cooking, it’s time to start working on the peppers (take 1.5 kilograms - that’s 13-15 pieces). Wash the pepper, dry it, cut off the top part along with the stalk, remove the inner part along with the seeds.
As a result, from one and a half kilograms I get a little more than a kilogram of prepared sweet pepper.
The carrots and onions are just ready. You can wait until the vegetables have cooled slightly, or you can stuff the peppers directly with hot carrots.
If you fill the peppers using a tablespoon, you can work with the hot filling.
You must first sterilize the jars and lids in any way convenient for you. As I wrote above, this amount of products is designed for 3 liters of vegetable preparation, but I will tell and show the example of one liter jar. Place a bell pepper stuffed with vegetables into each jar. I can fit 5 medium-sized peppercorns in one liter jar.
Let's prepare the marinade filling. To do this, pour 1.5 liters of natural tomato juice into a saucepan, add 80 grams of sugar, 40 grams of salt (take non-iodized salt) and 6 allspice peas. Place on the fire, bring to a boil and simmer over moderate heat for 2-3 minutes. Alternatively, you can use tomato paste (150 grams), which must be diluted in water (1.3-1.4 liters).
Fill the jars with boiling tomato sauce almost to the very rim (2 peas of allspice fall into each jar).
We screw the jars with screw lids (not completely) or simply cover them with tin lids, which are then closed using a seaming key.
For storage, stuffed peppers must be sterilized. To do this, take a pan of suitable volume (mine has a capacity of 6 liters), put a piece of fabric on the bottom (to prevent the jars from bursting), and place the jars with the blanks.
Fill the jars with water up to the hangers (it can be cold, it can be warm, but not with boiling water, so that the glass does not burst from the temperature difference). Place the pan on the fire, bring to a boil and, with moderate gurgling, sterilize the peppers stuffed with carrots for 40 minutes. The countdown begins from the moment the water boils in the pan.
At the end of sterilization, pour a tablespoon of vinegar (9%) into each jar.
We take the jars out of the pan and immediately screw them on with screw caps or close them with a tin sealer.
We turn the jars upside down, wrap them in something warm and leave them in this position until they cool down. After this, we transfer it to a dry, dark and cool place, where we store it.
In total, from the specified amount of ingredients used, exactly 3 liters of stuffed peppers in tomato sauce are obtained.
Try bell peppers stuffed with carrots and onions. It can be served cold or warm, as an independent dish or as a side dish for meat or poultry. Svetochka, thank you very much for your order. I will be glad if the result does not disappoint and everyone at the table remains full and satisfied. Cook for your health and bon appetit, friends!

According to the principle of execution, they are similar, only the fillings differ, which are sometimes the most unusual. For minced meat, vegetable combinations, meat, mushrooms, cheese (cottage cheese, feta cheese), cereals (in particular, rice), etc. are used. Minced meat with rice or a vegetable set is considered a classic. In this case, without “separating” the aforementioned tandem, the pepper will be stuffed with carrots. This is certainly a tasty dish that does not require much expenditure, prepared from the following ingredients: 1 kilogram of sweet pepper, 5 large ripe tomatoes (or 3-3.5 full tablespoons of tomato paste), 6 medium-sized carrots, 4 onions , 4 cloves garlic. You will also need aromatic herbs, spices and lean oil.
And, first of all, the filling for the treat is prepared. That is, the carotel is cleaned, rinsed and cut finely. Tomatoes are rubbed on a coarse grater. Onions without outer husks are chopped into half rings and simmered in hot vegetable oil in a saucepan until translucent. Add chopped carrots to the onion frying and pour in a little boiled water. The vegetables are stewed quietly for about half an hour, and about 10 minutes before removing from the stove, pre-chopped tomatoes, finely chopped herbs and chopped garlic are placed in a saucepan. All this is boiled and stewed until fully cooked, and in the process salted and peppered according to individual taste preferences. Prepared filling for peppers with carrots and onions
is put aside for a while.
Peppers of approximately the same size and the same variety are selected for the dish. It is desirable that they are slightly unripe. The fruits are washed in cold water and the grains and inner cores are removed. The edges of the vegetables need to be trimmed with a knife, and the scraps should be used to make a stew or cook amazing borscht. The prepared blank boxes are carefully lowered into boiling water for about 2 minutes, and after being removed, they are cooled.
After this, they need to be filled with minced vegetables, filling the internal space carefully, but quite tightly. The seals are placed in a deep saucepan or a special cauldron, into which a little vegetable oil and an incomplete glass of boiled water are poured. In addition, the liquid must first be moderately salted. The filling should not cover all the laid raw peppers; it is enough to “sink” only the bottom layer. simmer over low heat until cooked, which can be determined by softening the vegetables.

» greenery is poured. As a good addition to the filling when stewing, sour cream is sometimes added.

While the sauce is boiling, the sweet peppers are peeled and cut into medium-sized slices. Both carrots and peppers are transferred to the boiling tomato. Ocet is also infused. And the salad “Carrots with bell peppers”
and tomato" simmers for 20 minutes. The seaming container is sterilized. The tin lids are boiling. The finished salad, without subsequent sterilization, is poured into prepared jars and rolled up with a key.
This year there was an excellent harvest of bell peppers at the dacha. You can’t imagine what I’ve cooked with it, and how many times I’ve stuffed it with various fillings. However, despite all my efforts, there was still an abundance of bell pepper. It was then that I decided to roll it up for the winter. Having called my mother and asked her for a recipe for bell peppers for the winter, I immediately began clogging it. My husband and child helped me in this process, so we dealt with everything very quickly. Due to the fact that I am terribly curious, I left some ready-made pepper for testing. You know, this twist came out, as they often say, “finger lickin’ good.” I never thought that pepper could be used to make such deliciousness. I can say with confidence that this recipe should be in every housewife’s notes, as it deserves it.
