This is standard after-school fare for many Hungarian children. In Hungary it is known as Letcho and is extremely popular. It is fragrant and tangy and uses heaps of naturally sweet peppers, so is great for sneaking an extra portion of veg into the kids. It's also ideal for using up leftover cooked rice.
