Peppers in Mustard Sauce

 Ingredients: 6 kg bell peppers, 500 g sugar, 500 ml oil, 500 ml vinegar, 600 g plain mustard, 2 tablespoons of non-iodized salt, peppercorns, bay leaves

Gogosarii are a valued vegetable, and the gogosari preserve is a delicacy that enriches winter meals with its unmistakable aroma and taste. This simple and effective recipe will allow you to savor the taste of summer even on the coldest winter days.

Start by choosing beautiful, firm, and well-ripened gogosari, without spots or damage. Wash them well under a stream of cold water to remove impurities. Then, cut them into thicker slices, about one centimeter, to ensure they retain their crunchy texture even after the preservation process.

In a large pot, pour in the oil, add the sugar, salt, mustard, and vinegar. These ingredients combine to create a delicious sauce that will embrace the gogosari with flavors. Place the pot over medium heat and stir occasionally until the mixture begins to boil. It is important not to rush this step; let the sauce slowly reach the boiling point to develop its aroma.

Once the sauce is boiling, add the slices of gogosari. Gently stir to ensure each slice is evenly coated with the sauce. Let the gogosari boil for about 10 minutes. During this time, they will soften slightly, but will still remain crunchy. It is essential not to overcook them, as you want to preserve their vibrant texture and taste.

After the gogosari are dressed in sauce, prepare the jars. Make sure they are well cleaned and sterilized to prevent any risk of contamination. Place the hot gogosari directly into the jars, filling them almost to the top. It is important to add the sauce from the pot as well, so that each jar is filled with delicious flavors.

Once you have filled the jars, seal them tightly. I recommend wrapping them in a thick towel or placing them under a blanket to cool slowly. This process will help create a vacuum, ensuring that the gogosari will stay fresh and tasty until winter. Once they have completely cooled, store the jars in a cool, dry place, such as a cellar.

Now you are ready to enjoy the preserved gogosari during winter, adding them to salads, dishes, or simply as a side. This recipe will not only enrich your meals but will also remind you of sunny summer days when you prepared these delicious vegetables. Enjoy them with pleasure!
