Cooking pepper appetizers in Georgian style

Wash the bell peppers. For a more appealing presentation, you can use peppers of different colors. A combination of red, yellow, and green peppers will provide not only a culinary but also an aesthetic pleasure. Remove the cores from the clean peppers and cut into large wedges.

Place all the chopped peppers in a suitable container, sprinkle with coarse kitchen salt, sugar, a pinch of ground pepper, khmeli-suneli spice and 5 tablespoons of vegetable oil.

Mix the salad thoroughly to ensure the vegetables are evenly salted and infused with the aromatic spices. Wrap the bowl in plastic wrap or cover with a lid and let it sit for 60 minutes at room temperature.

Periodically uncover the salad and stir throughout. Now place the saucepan with the mixture on the burner and simmer for 15 minutes, once it boils. Shortly before the end of cooking, add a splash of vinegar.

Next, pour the hot Georgian pepper appetizer into a sterile container and roll up the lids.

There's no need for additional sterilization, as this bell pepper salad will keep for a long time, even indoors.
