Frequently Asked Questions
What is Dolmalık Biber Kurusu called in German, and where can I buy it in Germany?
It is called „getrocknete Paprika zum Füllen“ in German; „biber“ means pepper („Paprika“) and „kuru“ means dried. You can order the pack of about 45-50 pieces from the WeNatur online shop with parcel delivery to Germany.
How many peppers are in a pack?
The pack contains about 45-50 dried peppers for dolma; number, size and colour may vary. Large, round sweet peppers are harvested in season, deseeded, threaded on strings and sun-dried.
How are the dried peppers prepared before making dolma?
Before use, soak the peppers in hot water for a few minutes to soften them, then drain. You can then make olive-oil dolma with a rice filling or meat dolma with minced meat; the product must be cooked before eating.
What taste and texture do the dried peppers offer?
Sun-drying gives the peppers a sweet, intense aroma. When cooked they soften but keep their shape; the product is 100% dried sweet pepper with no additives.
