White Pepper, Tomato and Pepperoni Lecho

Lecho is a Hungarian classic. It’s a simple, countryside dish that becomes extraordinary when made at the height of late summer during our tomato and pepper season. The key is Hungarian white peppers, those pale, aromatic peppers that appear only briefly from late July through early September. Paired with ripe beefsteak tomatoes, they create a naturally sweet, silky base that needs little more than time and gentle heat.
