How to salt peppers for the winter using the dry salting method.
Salted peppers according to the Bulgarian method are prepared in small ceramic barrels with a capacity of 5 to 7 liters.
To prepare, you need to take peppers of the same size. Using a sharp thin knife, carefully cut out the stalk along with the inner seed capsule. Make sure the pepper remains intact.
Rinse the resulting hollow pods under running water to remove all remaining seeds from inside the pepper.
Place the pepper cut side down - this will allow all the moisture to drain out. Sprinkle the inside of the dry, hollow pods thickly with salt.
Place the pods inside each other to form a kind of multi-layered tower.
Place towers of 5-6 pods into a barrel. You need to take enough pepper so that it completely fills the container.
Place any suitable pressure on top of the pepper.
Leave the barrel filled with peppers for 12 hours in a warm place so that the peppers release their juice.
Then, take the barrel to a cold place for further storage. This could be the basement or the refrigerator shelf.
