Select even pepper in sufficient quantities;
We determine what we will cook stuffed pepper in winter and evaluate how many peppers will be required for a pan (indicative amount);
We sort pepper in shape and size;
Remove the stalk with the core;
I carefully wash it inside and outside;
We dry on paper napkins;
Fold the pepper one into one in the columns in the length of the freezer;
We collect several columns in one package (one package is one portion, it is more convenient to defrost);
We put in the freezer and do not remove it before use;
When cooking, remove, defrost to the extent when the peppercorn will be removed from each other without damage, fill and set to cook. Not completely defrost, since after defrosting the pepper becomes soft and torn when stuffing.

Formation of stuffing pepper with filling:

As in the first case, clean the pepper, wash and dry on a paper towel. Next, we fill with the finished minced meat (minced meat, rice, vegetables and greens), lay out in rows and freeze on the sheets, and then we fold the already frozen semi -finished products in packages and store it. When cooking, put in a frozen pan, pour a cold gravy and bring to a boil, and then simmer on a minimum heat so that the pepper first melts and prepares completely in the sauce. Thus, you will receive delicious stuffed pepper at any time of the year.

How to freeze bell pepper for the winter for pizza, lasagna or stew?

Pizza, climbing, stew, stewed vegetables, and more than one hundred dishes can be cooked with fresh Bulgarian pepper. But if not a season for it and you don’t want to buy at a supermarket with nitrates at all? In this case, take care of yourself in advance, making blanks - freezing of the Bulgarian pepper in two ways.

Method No. 1 - Rings.

For both ways, choose pepper with thick walls, preferably all the colors of the rainbow that you will find. Wash thoroughly and start to tire with the rings from the tip to the stalk, if there is a vegetable shirt with a custom -made thickness in the everyday life - set up 5 mm and chink. After the rings are chopped, remove the core and a stalk.

Thus, you can cut the pepper as evenly as possible and at the same time, including the “hat”. If you are ready to sacrifice the evenness of the cut in favor of the speed - cut the hat, take out the core and chink. Put in bags in portions and hide in the freezer until moisture and juiciness come out of it.

Method number 2 - strips

Cut the pepper into four parts (small - in half), take out the stalk and core, thoroughly rinse. Chin with a string with a knife or using a vegetable engine. Pour into packages for certain portions and put it in the freezer.

If you plan to tire for this method in an amount of 10 kg or more, it will be very difficult to do without a vegetable engine. As in previous methods, we recommend choosing green, red, yellow pepper and clean from stalks and core. Then we cut 5-7 mm with cubes and packed into packages. Since such a cut is well separated with a knife in the winter, you can without problems captivate into large bags.

Another way to harvest the Bulgarian pepper in the freezer for the winter is grinding through a meat grinder. A great way if the workpiece is for refueling, caviar and as an additional seasoning to gravy. If you like to see pieces in the finished dish - this method will not suit you.

How to freeze bell pepper for the winter for flooding and festive dishes?

Many housewives love to beautifully decorate dishes and this method for such cases. If you have metal cutting for cookies - excellent, not yet - be sure to purchase. So, we cut the pepper in half and neatly align, press the cutting and get the original pepper figure. We repeat with different cuts, filling portioned bags. In winter, it remains to defrost and put in a dish (if the dish does not succumb to heat treatment, the pepper is blanched).
