Pepper Tsitsak in Armenian

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 14 day

1. STEP 1

   

   How to prepare salted tsitsak pepper for the winter in Armenian style? Prepare all the necessary ingredients. First of all, you need Tsitsak pepper; it is usually yellowish-green in color.

2. STEP 2

   

   Freshly picked peppers are not pickled immediately; they are allowed to sit until the fruits wilt and become soft. Rinse the peppers in running water and dry with a napkin.

3. STEP 3

   

   Prepare the brine. To do this, dissolve coarse salt in water. I used hot water to speed up the process.

4. STEP 4

   

   Place a layer of chopped fresh dill and chopped garlic on the bottom of a suitable container.

5. STEP 5

   

   Pack the peppers tightly.

6. STEP 6

   

   Place the spices on top of the peppers.

7. STEP 7

   

   Pour the prepared brine over the peppers until it completely covers the fruits.

8. STEP 8

   

   Press down the pepper with a lid or plate and place a weight. Keep the pickling in a cool place for about two weeks. The fruits should turn yellow.

9. STEP 9

   

   You can put the tsitsak in sterilized jars and store it in the basement or refrigerator, or leave it in the same container. Bon appetit!
