Discover tursha – a delightful Caucasian winter preserve made from green beans and fresh carrots. This recipe requires no vinegar, yet boasts a vibrant flavor thanks to garlic, hot pepper, and bay leaf. Forget about canning jars – simply sterilize your storage containers, and your aromatic tursha is ready to be enjoyed!

Begin by preparing all the vegetables: wash and dry them thoroughly. Peel the carrots and garlic. Remove the stem and seeds from the chili pepper, and trim the ends off the green beans. Prepare a sterile 0.5-liter jar and lid so everything is ready for the magic.

Add bay leaf, sugar, salt, allspice, and black pepper to a saucepan. Pour in water. Place over high heat, bring to a boil, then allow the marinade to cool completely so it can infuse with the flavors.

While the marinade cools, mince the garlic and slice the chili pepper into thin rings. Add these aromatic ingredients to the cooled marinade so they can begin to infuse their flavor.

Place the beans in a clean pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook for just 3 minutes. Then, quickly drain the hot water and immediately immerse the beans in cold water to preserve their vibrant color and crisp texture.

Grate the carrots and place them in a clean pot. Add the chilled beans and pour the aromatic marinade over everything. Place a weight on top and leave this preparation in a cool place for a full 3 days for the flavors to meld perfectly.

Your torsha is ready! You can enjoy it immediately or transfer it to a sterilized jar, pour the remaining marinade over it, seal it tightly with a lid, and store it in a cool place to prolong the enjoyment.

Thanks to a well-chosen marinade, such tomatoes keep perfectly even until the next season, without losing their shape, color, or richness. This preserve is versatile: pickled tomatoes make an ideal accompaniment to potatoes, meat dishes, homemade sausages, or pilaf. They are served at festive tables alongside other pickles, added to vegetable platters, or simply enjoyed as a tangy condiment for hot dishes. This is precisely the recipe that brings back the scent of summer in the middle of winter – simple, reliable, and always successful.
