Remove from heat, stir in Paprika, then immediately add peppers and tomatoes. Salt, pepper, add garlic.

Tip: Increase heat if too watery.
5

Beat eggs lightly with salt. Pour over hot stew and stir gently.

Tip: Don't over-mix; leave large curds.

Tip: Carry-over cooking finishes the eggs.

Recipe FAQ

Why is my Lecsó watery?
Peppers and tomatoes hold lots of water. Reduce the liquid well before adding eggs, or it will remain soupy. Eggs bind best with a thick sauce.
How to keep eggs soft?
Don't overcook! Remove from heat while they are still slightly runny. Residual heat finishes them.
