  • 300 g (2 large) of peppers
  • 2 teaspoons of salt
  • 250 ml of vinegar

  To preserve

  • just enough to cover with extra virgin olive oil

  Materials Needed

  • 1 cutting board for food
  • 1 glass jar with lid
  • 1 colander
  • 1 colander or a laundry ladle

  Preparation

  1. Carefully clean the peppers, then remove the seeds and internal filaments.
  2. With a sharp knife, cut the peppers into slices of any size (the advice is to obtain many rectangles with an approximate size of 3X2 cm).
  3. Place the pepper flakes in a bowl and cover with plenty of vinegar, adding 2 teaspoons of coarse salt.
  4. At this point, wait at least an hour: this method will make the peppers crunchy. Those who want them softer will simply have to leave the peppers in the vinegar for 1 ½ or 2.
  5. After the necessary time, drain the peppers from the salty vinegar well with the help of a ladle with holes or a colander. Then pour them into a glass jar and cover completely with the extra virgin olive oil. This method is used to keep peppers so crunchy for at least a month.
  6. Before serving the peppers, drain them well from the oil.

  Alice's comment - PersonalCooker

  Crispy sour peppers are an excellent side dish to be enjoyed together with a good boiled meat or with an excellent "silverside" meat properly cooked to perfection. Kept in a hermetically sealed glass jar, the sour peppers, covered in oil, can be kept crunchy for over a month.

  Nutritional values ​​and Health Comment on the recipe

  The values ​​on the side refer to 100g of crispy sour peppers already immersed in oil but suitably DRAINED. Crispy sour peppers are an excellent "winter" side dish for boiled meats; they do not have great nutritional qualities and to tell the truth they are not distinguished by their high digestibility. Ultimately, these peppers should be consumed in portions of 50% compared to raw vegetables, i.e. 70-100g of well-drained edible portion.
