LECO (pronounced ‘lecho’) is a delicious traditional Czech/Slovak meal. Since it has an egg in it I am afraid that most Americans would eat it just for breakfast which is a shame. We used to have it for lunch or dinner but never breakfast!!! If you like, you can ease into it by adding some American-style cilantro (blah!) or avocado (yum!).
CZ: Cechy bez leca jsou jako Cechy bez Vaclavskeho namesti – proste by nestaly za nic! Leco je jednoduche, zdrave a velmi lahodne. Muzete si ho poamerictit pridanim cilantra (fuj!) nebo avokada (mnam!).
Ingredients:
- 1/2 onion, thinly sliced
- 1 green pepper, chopped
- 4-5 tomatoes, chopped
- 1/2 polish kielbasa, sliced
- 2-3 eggs
Method:
- On a frying pan saute the onion and green pepper until slightly done
- Add sausage and keep cooking the mixture over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes
- Add the tomatoes and simmer for 10 minutes
- Stir in the 2 eggs
- Serve with rye bread
Dobrou Chut!!!

Yes, the breakfast must be really good and big…
There goes a saying: “Eat breakfast yourself, eat lunch with friends and your dinner give to enemy ….
Ale riadne davas zabrat tej anglictine – we would used to… Radsej pis po cesky…
To jses hodna, Evo, ze jsi mi chytila muj preklep; rozhodne anglicky neprestanu psat, mozna ze do toho pridam i slovenstinu π Jeste jednou dik!
Eva, do you know the expression “Aged to perfection” ?
We all are so young π
We grow our own tomatoes and bell peppers. There is nothing better than leco made from home grown vegetables with fresh loaf of bread from Costco.
Tani super recept. Milujem leco a aj moj manzel.
Anglictinu mas uple perfektnu a som rada, ze pises v obidvoch jazykoch. Kludne pridaj aj slovenctinu bude fun.
Eva neviem ci si nepresedlala z mojej stranky na Taninu. Lebo ja som tiez mala niekoho, kto stale kritizoval moju anglictinu (je pravda ze je co kritizovat). Ale asi najlepsi recept je, ak sa ti nepaci necitaj.

lejdis, lejdis…bihejv
I completely agree…what bread do you buy at Cosco?
The last comment was supposed to target “Marika” not “Vlastimil” ;))
DIky za podporu Lenko!
Hi Tanja,
Another good recipe. I’ve made this dish before, but I thought it was something I created myself! It makes me smile to know it’s also a traditional dish. π I put kielbasa and onions in everything.
I often sprinkle a little cheese on top- it’s really good that way.
Hmm, leco uz jsem dlouho nemela. A je pravda ze detstvi bych si bez nej nedokazala predstavit. Diky Tanjo ze nas tak hezky informujes.
Thanks Bel! Kielbasa and onions are a life-saver!!! …put some potatoes in it or serve it with rice and you have a delicious meal! Not sure if it’s that healthy though π
Tohle je jedno z tech jidel ktere vzniklo z nouze casu ci cehokoliv jineho. Co je dnes k vereci? Pockej podivam se co mame v lednici ci na zahrade. Trochu toho, trochu tamtoho a mame tradici. Co Cech, to kutil. At uz jde o cokoliv. π Kdo si pamatuje na knoflikovou polevku. Ale spise se ji rikalo topurkova.
Ja si leco moc pamatuji, hlavne to, ze mi jako diteti moc nejelo. Hrozne mi vadily ty kuzicky z rajcat, jak se tam tak srolovaly….
Asi to budu muset zkusit uvarit, protoze ted by mi urcite chutnalo!!!
A take souhlasim s Lenkou! Ja se musim hrozne hlidat v obou jazycich, protoze si nikdy nebudu jista presnou gramatikou v anglictine, a v cestine se s “i” a “y” po 12 letech v Americe take pekne peru.
Petre: “kuzicky rajcat”..ty jsi roztomila :)) Mas pravdu, oni (nebo spis ‘ony”) se rolujou – mozna ze by se daly precedit??
Lence: hele, Lenko, co je to topurkova polivka? To vubec neznam! To jsem Cech vid!
Diky za recept, a tu kavu si vypijeme az nekdy pristi rok, az prletim da Ceska, zdravi Vasek z British Columbia, Canada.
Velice dobre a chutne a ja to jim uz pres 70 let a stale me to chutna. Tu kavu si vypijeme az pristi rok, protoze se do Ceska drive nedostanu. Ziju v British Columbia v Canade a uz jsem dost starej na jezdeni.tak diky.
LOVE leΔo. My mom didn’t put eggs in it, though.. has anyone else had it without eggs ?
