How to freeze peppers for the winter

In a store or market, we select and buy, if possible, bell peppers of the same size and shape. For aesthetic satisfaction from the future dish, you can choose vegetables of different colors for freezing: from green to dark red.

For the first time, we will wash the bell peppers whole. Dry it - this way the seeds will stick less when removed.

Cut off the top of the peppers and remove, as far as possible, the middle with the seeds.

We clean the peppers from the inside as much as possible from seeds. It is better to do this with your fingers; when working with a knife, you can damage the walls of the peppers. We will wash the peeled peppers again and be sure to leave them to dry. If you freeze them wet, the peppers may freeze and split when used during winter cooking.

We do not throw away the cut off tops, but freeze them for the winter to season the borscht. We clean them of inedible parts.

Let's cut it.

Place in a small plastic container and place in the freezer.

We stack the dried peppers one on top according to the matryoshka principle - we put the smaller ones in the larger ones. Then we pack them in plastic bags and put them in the freezer.

To cook frozen bell peppers in winter, you do not need to defrost them. Otherwise, you will have problems filling them with minced meat.
