Categories     Sausage

Yield 5 people

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 cups of water
2 tbsp of Olive oil
one package of Kielbasa. In the store I found the
Hillshire Farm Polska Kielbasa. (Don't by Stonyfield brand)
3/4 of one large onion
4-5 big light green peppers or 5-7 small light green peppers
3 medium sized Tomatoes diced, or one can of diced no salt added Tomatoes
1/8 to 1/4 tsp of salt
1/4 tsp of pepper
1/4 tsp of Paprika

Steps:

  • Boil water in medium pot. While you are waiting for the water to boil, remove the skin on the Kielbasa. If it is too thin to peel, then add slit or poke holes on the Kielbasa with a fork to account for expansion in the boiling water. Boil the Kielbasa for about 30 minutes. Slice the peppers and the onion in thin long strains. In a 2 inch deep saute pan add the oil until it is hot. Saute the onions for about 2-3 minutes. Add the peppers and then saute for another 5-7 minutes. Add the diced Tomatoes, salt, pepper and paprika. Allow it to boil on low heat for about 10 minutes. After the Kielbasa is done boiling, dump the water. wait for the Kielbasa to cool down. If you have not already removed the skin prior to boiling, now it is just as great of an opportunity to finish peeling it.. Once the skin is removed, then slice the Keilbasa in to 1/4 inch thick pieces. Once the Letcho has boiled for 10 minutes, add the sausage. Mix it all together and allow it to cook for another 10 minutes on low heat.

  • Use a variety of peppers. This will give your letcho a complex flavor. Some good choices include bell peppers, poblano peppers, and jalapeño peppers.
  • Don't be afraid to adjust the heat level. If you like your food spicy, add more jalapeño peppers or cayenne pepper. If you prefer a milder dish, omit the spicy peppers or use a milder variety.
