Armenian bean tursha for winter

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make tursha from beans? To do this, you will need string beans. The number of ingredients is indicated approximately, for example, you can take more tomatoes. Some housewives make turshu without tomatoes at all. The main thing here is the principle of cooking.

2. Step 2:

   

   The first step is to boil the beans. Cook it for 5 minutes in boiling water. Then flip it into a colander and let the water drain properly. You can spread the beans on paper towels so that it dries completely. Wash tomatoes and hot capsicum, cut off the tails and cut into large pieces.

3. Step 3:

   

   Prepare the brine. It is better to do this in advance, since it should cool down. Dissolve two tablespoons of salt in a liter of water. It is better to dissolve in boiling water, then the brine should be cooled. The brine should be cold.

4. Step 4:

   

   But many people don't do the next stage, so you can skip it. I usually remove the tough string fibers from the beans and tear off the tail. Many people tear it all off from raw beans, but, believe me, it's much easier to do it with boiled beans.

5. Step 5:

   

   Now let's prepare the tomato dressing. Chop tomatoes, hot pepper and garlic. It is not necessary to grind in mashed potatoes, here you need the presence of pieces. Therefore, only a meat grinder with a large grate or a chopper, but not a blender. Add a little salt to the dressing to taste delicious.

7. Step 6:

   

   Next, put the beans in a saucepan (or wherever you prefer) in layers, alternating with the dressing - a layer of beans, then a layer of dressing. The extra refueling (if it remains) can be used as an adjika.

8. Step 7:

   

   The top layer should be beans! Do not add any refueling.

9. Step 8:

   

   Fill the turshu with brine carefully so that it completely covers the beans, taking into account that there will still be oppression. Put an inverted plate on top and put the oppression. Leave the tursha in Armenian for five days to ferment! The fermentation time depends on how warm you are.

10. Step 9:

    

    Ready, tursha can be closed for the winter. Put the tursh in sterilized jars and pour the pre-drained boiling brine. Roll up the jars with lids and wrap them in a warm blanket until completely cooled.
