Tomato-pepper stew (Leczo)

Leczo is a single pot dish made of peppers, onions and tomatoes. Originally it is a Hungarian dish, but in Poland, among others, it has already become a local dish. It can be served as an accompaniment to other dishes or, as in this case, with sausage, bread and other vegetables as an independent full meal.
