Polish lecso recipe is one of my all-time favorites. Why? Because you can easily make it vegetarian. I don’t really like meat, while my hubby loves it. I cook one big pot of this vegetarian stew and fry the sausage for my hubby separately. He can add as much as he wants, while I enjoy my stew meat-free.
What’s more, Polish leczo is really simple and quick to make. All you need to do is dice the veggies, cook them, and season at the end.

Make It Vegan Or Not.
As I mentioned before, this dish can be either cooked with or without kiełbasa.
What’s more, you can make it 100% if you use oil instead of clarified butter.
Polish lecso is healthy, gluten-free, and really delicious!
Add Your Favorite Veggies To Polish Leczo.
This is the simplest and the most basic Polish lecso recipe. You can add to it more veggies, such as:
- champignons
- mushrooms
- beans
Peeling Zucchini Is Not Necessary.
I don’t like the courgette’s skin, that’s why I am removing it. It’s not necessary though.
Use Canned Or Fresh Tomatoes.
It’s much quicker to use the canned tomatoes, that’s why I always add them to my Polish leczo. You can use fresh tomatoes as well.
You will need to peel them, remove the green parts, and dice them. For this Polish lecso recipe, you will need about 5.5 lbs / 2.5 kg of fresh tomatoes.
What To Serve Leczo With?
Polish vegetarian and sausage stew taste best with:
- fresh bread (spread with butter)
- rice
- groats
- potatoes
- any kind of dinner meat
How To Store Polish Leczo?
Keep it in the fridge for up to 4 days. You can also pasteurize your leczo and keep it in the jar for up to a year.
You can also keep your leczo in the freezer for up to 4 months.

This is similar to what my parents called Machanka(?spelling). We often substituted sliced hot dogs or ground beef for variety. I never tried it with zucchini, but it sounds delicious!
