 One of the very popular pickled foods in Croatia is Tur\u0161ija. Tur\u0161ija(Torshi) is a Middle Eastern and Balkan dish, and it’s basically a mixture of different sour vegetables. The Croatian Tur\u0161ija usually contains cauliflower, cucumbers, carrots, peppers, green tomatoes, and cabbages. Every Tur\u0161ija is different and people make it as they like and use vegetables they prefer.<\/p>\n

My Tur\u0161ija contains sliced peppers, cucumbers, cauliflower, tomato meat, carrots, and parsley. The number of veggies depends on personal choices. My hubby likes cauliflower, so I’ve used more cauliflower. Usually, the amount of veggies is equal, or one vegetable is a main vegetable in the mixture, and the rest is half the amount of the main vegetable. I’ve placed two tablespoons of salt on the veggies and left them for a couple of hours to let the juice out. Since I don’t have any cabbage, onions, or green tomatoes in the mix I didn’t leave it overnight to drain.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

After a couple of hours, I’ve filled the jars with a veggie mixture. I’ve used mostly small jars so that my hubby could take the whole jar with him to work and eat it in two meals. Also, I was worried I wouldn’t have enough medium jars for the rest of the veggies, and I have more than enough smaller ones.<\/p>\n
