Russian Marinated Red Peppers (Lecho)

Cook delicious and very fragrant preservation for the winter – lecho with bell pepper. For this recipe, it is better to use ripe fleshy vegetables. To make the ready preservation look appetizing, choose orange or red peppers for lecho; green fruits are better reserved for various salads and snacks. From the specified amount of ingredients, I got 3.5 liters of preservation.
