Pickled Roasted Red Peppers

This recipe is a part of my winter preparations. First I made three types of jams, canned tomatoes, oregano in red pepper paste, and then I made these roasted red pepper pickles. I will give the recipes to all these soon. While I was making roasted red pepper pickles I searched for the health benefits of red peppers. I think it's best to consume what we eat knowing benefits of it.

A research conducted in Gaziantep University shows that red pepper contains a substance called "capsaisin", which has pain reliving and anti-inflammatory effects. Plus, red peppers has cholesterol reducing properties, regulates stomach acid secretion and has anti-septic properties.

We should be eating more red peppers. Now to the recipe:


Ingredients

2 kg red peppers
7-8 cloves of garlic
vinegar
salt

Directions

Roast the peppers in the oven or on the stovetop. Let them cool and peel. Cut garlic in half and put them in a jar with some vinegar. Fill the jars with roasted red peppers and top them off with vinegar. Store them in a cool place. Roasted red pepper pickle goes well with Lentil Kofte or Kisir.
