What is Letchok Sauce?

Letchok Sauce is a Balkan-style sauce made by cooking tomatoes and peppers together; some versions also include onion. As the vegetables soften, they form a thick, savoury-sweet mixture, which may be smooth or left slightly chunky. The exact seasoning and texture vary from household to household.

In the Balkans it can be served with bread, eggs or grilled foods, and it also works as a relish alongside everyday meals. For English-speaking cooks elsewhere, try it with eggs at breakfast or spooned over roasted vegetables. It is mostly vegetable-based and relatively light, at 55 calories per 100 g. Pair it with a protein-rich main, or use a modest amount of oil when making it at home.
