Lecso is the vegetarian cousin of Hungary's famous meaty stews - goulash, porkolt and paprikas. It's a bit like the French dish ratatouille, a delicious pepper and tomato stew, seasoned with lots of vibrant Hungarian paprika. It's often served simply with bread, but here we're making some delicious caraway flavoured potato pancakes, dill pickled mushrooms and a herby sour cream to accompany it. For dessert we've got rétes, the Hungarian version of strudel, in which layers of buttery filo pastry are filled with cherries and poppy seeds and finished with a cinnamon sugar.
