Embroidered peppers ( Macedonian: Везени пиперки, romanized: Vezeni piperki or Macedonian: Нарезнени пиперки, romanized: Narezneni piperki), also known as engraved peppers, is a traditional Macedonian meze made of fresh, dried or condimented peppers of the Capsicum annuum species threaded on a string. [1]
Background
Peppers are a staple ingredient of Macedonian cuisine. Capsicum annuum of the Capsicum species exist in several different landraces in North Macedonia and in neighbouring Kosovo, Albania and Serbia. Embroidered Macedonian peppers have a specific fruit appearance, taste and use and there are several different landraces. There are approximately 789 pepper samples, 204 of which are embroidered peppers. [1]
Method of preparation
Fruits of peppers are threaded together on strings and left on balconies or in attics to be dried. [1] They are also found in urban areas of the country or are sold in local green markets. [1] Bukovec, or Bukov piper, is a spice made from roughly crushed red peppers. [1]
