What could be better than home spins? Having opened a jar of fragrant vegetables in the winter, I want to enjoy a piece of warm and colorful summer. Today we’ll talk about how to cook pepper and cabbage for the winter.
Classic recipe
Products that we will need for this dish:
- Bulgarian pepper, preferably multi-colored - 5 kg;
- white cabbage - 2.5 kg;
- average carrot - 5 pcs.;
- garlic - 5-7 cloves;
- vinegar - half a liter;
- water - 2.5 liters;
- sugar - 45 g;
- salt - 0.5 cups;
- vegetable oil - 250 ml;
- bay leaf - 3-4 pcs.
Selection and processing of vegetables
First, let's clean the bell peppers. We rinse it under running water and remove all the insides (the seeds can be easily removed by pressing the stalk inward, and then pulling it back). After that, knock pepper with a knife. We will get rid of the remaining entrails by washing each pepper under the pressure of water.
Now proceed to cutting the cabbage. It should be exactly white. Cauliflower with a greenish tint should not be used for these purposes, so as not to spoil the taste and color of the workpiece.
The most ideal choice for white-headed is late autumn or the first night frosts. It is during this period of time that the cabbage, covered in frost, loses its bitterness.
So, we wash our main ingredient under water and shred. Cut as small as possible. Wash carrots, peel and grate on a medium grater (it is better to cut our orange vegetable into small strips so that it does not lose its useful properties). Peel the garlic and pass through the garlic crush.
In order for our cabbage and pepper to be tasty for the winter , you should thoroughly mash the white cabbage with your hands. Then you can add carrots, garlic and mix everything thoroughly.
So, take the Bulgarian pepper and stuff the cooked mixture.
Blanch
Now let's do the blanching. Pour water into the pan, put it on the stove and wait for it to boil. It takes so much time that the pepper stuffed with cabbage (for the winter the harvest is much richer and tastier), becomes less elastic, but not soft. This will preserve all the beneficial properties and taste of vegetables. 2-4 minutes will be enough.
Brine
For brine, boil the indicated amount of water. After that, salt, sugar, add sunflower oil, vinegar and bay leaf. Mix. If you like dishes with a sweet taste, then the amount of sugar can be increased. The brine should boil for 2-3 minutes. Then you can start rolling.
Can preparation
Peppers with cabbage for the winter (recipes are given in our article) are laid only in sterilized jars. For these purposes, you can use a microwave oven (pour a third of boiling water in a jar, set the time for 2-3 minutes), a pan with a double boiler, etc. The lids should also be sterilized. They can be thrown into a pot of boiling water and left to cook for several minutes.
Sunset
When the jars with lids are sterilized, you can lay the salad. Then the vegetables are poured with brine and rolled up. Ready our pepper and cabbage for the winter!
To keep the snack for as long as possible, sterilize the jars again (30-40 minutes). Then wrap them in a warm blanket and leave in this position until cool.
Enjoy the home spin!
