Which peppers are used for Bosnian milk pepper pickle?
Bosnian milk pepper pickle can be made with small whole peppers, using sweet or hot varieties according to preference and local tradition. Choose firm, unblemished peppers so they hold their texture during fermentation.
What does Bosnian milk pepper pickle taste like?

How is Bosnian milk pepper pickle served?
