Peppers with Milk and Cheese (Lorlu-Sutlu Biber ) Rumeli-Trakya

2 lbs sweet banana peppers

3-4 lbs ricotta cheese (preferably fresh)

3-4 cups milk

Salt to taste

 

Bring the milk to boil and add some salt to ricotta if you like. Let the milk cool aside (it should be a little cooler than the milk for yogurt making, 33-37 C). Chop the peppers about 1 inch long and put them in 1L or any size you like glass jars. Make sure to fill half of the jars. Then, fill the ¾ of the jars with ricotta cheese, covering the peppers almost 1 inch. Once the milk gets to the right temperature (33-37 C), fill the jars with milk to the top. Close the lids tight and place the jars upside down over a blanket or any other thick cloth, just as you make yogurt. Wrap the blanket around the jars tightly and let them ferment for 2 days. You may check sometime to see if there are any spills. Take them to the refrigerator when they get as thick as yogurt, or maybe thicker.

Let them rest in the fridge for 10 days and then they are ready to eat. The longer they stay in the fridge the thicker and more acidic they become as in pickles. They will have a more sour and strong taste.

ENJOY

TURKCE

1 kg carliston biber

1.5-2 kg taze tam yagli lor

3-4  bardak sut

Tuz

 

Sutu iyice kaynatin. Lor peynirinin tuz oranına gore arzu ettiginiz oranda tuz ilave edin. Sut bir kenarda sogumaya birakilir. (Yogurt mayalanacak sutten biraz daha ilik olmalidir). Biberleri 2-3 cm uzunlugunda dograyin ve 1 litrelik ya da kullandigiz herhangi bir boyuttaki kavanozun yarisina kadar doldurun. Kavanozdaki biberlerin uzerini bir-iki parmak gececek kadar (kavanozun 4’te 3u) lor peynirle doldurun. Sut, yogurt yapimi icin tercih edilen sicakliktan biraz daha ilik olunca, kavanozlarin agzina kadar doldurun. Kavanozlari sikica kapatin.Yogurt mayalar gibi, bir battaniye uzerine kavanozlari ters sekilde koyun ve etrafini battaniye ya da baska bir kalin ortuyle sikica sarin ve yaklasik 2 gun mayalamaya birakin. Arada kontrol ederek kavanozlarin sizinti yapmadigindan emin olun. Yogurt kivamindan daha sert bir kivama geldiklerinde kavanozlari buzdolabina alabilirsiniz.

Buzdolabinda 10 gun bekletttikten sonra tuketebilirsiniz. Buzdolabinda bekleme suresi arttikca kivami ve lezzeti artacak, ayni tursu gibi daha asidik, keskin ve eksimsi bir tad alacaklardir.

AFIYET OLSUN
