Instructions

Working time approx. 25 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 40 minutes; Total time approx. 1 hour 5 minutes

Brown the meat in hot oil in a pan. Season to taste with salt, pepper, and paprika. Then add the sausage and onions. Place everything in a large pot. Add the diced cucumber and tomatoes and deglaze with the two jars of leccho. Add a little water until the consistency is still creamy but not too thick. Then simmer for about 30 minutes, until the meat is nice and tender. If necessary, you can always add a little water and ketchup, or you can also season it to taste. To refine the dish, serve small bowls of crème fraîche or sour cream. Serve with a garlic baguette from the oven or a fresh baguette from the bakery.
