Spicy pickled red bell pepper strips served in a jar

Spicy Pickled Red Bell Pepper Strips

The sweet and crunchy texture of red bell peppers makes them ideal for spicy pickling. This preservation technique has long been used in Mediterranean and Balkan cuisines to enhance and preserve the flavor of bell peppers for longer. Adding chili and allspice makes the pepper flavor richer and spicier, which goes particularly well with meats, cheeses, or even salads. This recipe is the perfect choice for those who love spicy-sour flavors.
