Ossetian cuisine. Pepper preparations for the winter: how to preserve all vitamins Watermelon sauce for lamb - recipe
Peel the lamb or beef internal fat from coarse films, cut into pieces, sprinkle generously with salt and wrap tightly in a peritoneal fat film, put in a cup and let stand for one day. Then tie it with clean rope and hang it over the smoke to smoke. Hold over the smoke until the surface becomes slightly creamy in color, then hang in a cool place for the winter. Lard lasts in this form for a very long time. Used as a topping for first bean dishes and pies: nasdzhyn, kabuskadzhyn, fiudzhyn, amys.
SMOKED LAMB RIBS (Fæzdægdzyd physy færsdzhytæ)
Separate the lamb rib from the shoulder and hind leg. Flatten the ribs and make deep cuts near the rib bones on the inside. Sprinkle generously with salt on all sides. Then wrap tightly and put in a cool place for one day. When the salt is absorbed into the meat, smooth it out so that there are no deep folds left and pull it onto pre-prepared wooden rods. Then hang over the smoke and smoke until the surface of the meat dries and takes on a reddish-brown color. After this, hang the ribs over the stove and finish smoking.
Smoked ribs are prepared for the winter, like other winter preparations.
SALTED FAT LAD (Fysy dimæg tsækhdzhynæy)
Wash the lamb tail, dry it, make cuts on the inside without cutting through. Sprinkle generously with salt and roll tightly, place in a cool place so that the salt is absorbed into it. Then level it, stretch it onto wooden rods and hang it to smoke. When the fat tail becomes dull-transparent, it can be hung in a cool place for air drying.
Salted wild wild garlic (Davon tsækhdzhyn)
Sort out the green wild garlic leaves and wash them in cold running water or in several waters. Let the water drain. Chop them finely, as for wild garlic pie. Add salt and mix with your hands so that the wild garlic releases its juice. Then put it in a container for salting - a wooden barrel or an enamel pan. Press lightly with your hands, cover with a clean napkin, place a wooden circle and a small weight on top. Cover with a lid and store in a cool place for the winter.
It is served as an independent dish, as well as with boiled potatoes.
Ramson is very healthy and tasty.
SALT PEPPER LEAVES (Tsyvzyy tsærttæ tsækhdzhynæy)
For 1 kg of leaves - 80-100 g of salt.
Tear off the leaves of the bitter capsicum from the stems, sort them out, and wash them in running water or in several waters. Leave the small pepper pods with the leaves. Squeeze out the water, put in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Cook the leaves until soft. Then remove them from the heat, place in a sieve or colander and rinse with cold water until the water runs clear. Let the water drain and then put it in a large cup to make it easier to mix with the salt. Place in prepared container and compress. Cover with a clean napkin and place a large press board on top; if in a glass container, cover with a lid.
SEALED CABBAGE (Tsækhdzhyn kabuska)
Cabbage - 5 kg,
salt - 5 tablespoons,
carrots - 130-150 g,
sugar - 50 g,
pepper, dill, bay leaf - to taste.
Peel the heads of ripe cabbage, remove limp green and dirty leaves, trim the stalk. Cut the head of cabbage into 2 or 4 parts and cut into strips. Wash the carrots thoroughly and chop into thin strips or grate on a coarse grater. Chop the capsicum. Put all this in the cabbage, sprinkle with dill or caraway seeds, add salt, sugar and rub well with your hands so that the cabbage becomes soft and releases juice; if desired, you can add a bay leaf.
Before pouring the first layer into the dish, line the bottom of the dish with healthy cabbage leaves, sprinkle with dill, carrots, and put green capsicum. Then put a layer of prepared cabbage and compact it thoroughly with a wooden tamper or your hands. (Tight packing promotes the release of juice, makes it difficult for air to penetrate into the dishes and thereby protects the cabbage from spoilage).
Cover the top of the cabbage with whole leaves, then cover with a clean napkin. Press down the cabbage with a wooden circle, well washed and scalded with boiling water, and place a weight.
The weight of the load should be approximately 10 percent of the weight of the cabbage (5 kg of weight per 50 kg of cabbage). You can use cleanly washed cobblestones as a load.
After 3-4 days, bubbles will begin to swell on the surface; This is a sign that fermentation has begun. Then foam appears, which gradually disappears.
The most favorable fermentation temperature is 18-20 degrees. At this temperature, fermentation ends in 9-12 days, at a temperature of 25-30 degrees it occurs faster and ends in 7-8 days. However, rapid fermentation worsens the taste of cabbage and reduces its stability; mucus may appear on the cabbage.
During souring, the cabbage must be pierced several times with a clean stake to release the formed gases. You need to make sure that the cabbage is covered with juice all the time. If little juice is released during souring, then you should increase the load or add brine (for 1 glass of drinking water - three quarters of a teaspoon of salt). The foam that appears on the surface must be removed, as it contains microorganisms that cause spoilage of the cabbage.
By the end of fermentation, the brine becomes light, loses its bitterness and has a pleasant salty-sour taste. The finished cabbage should be juicy, crispy when bitten, sour-salty in taste, and have a pleasant smell. Its color is light straw or with a yellowish tint. The wooden circle and stone must be washed with boiling water.
Cabbage pickled with whole heads of cabbage
Cabbage - 10 medium-sized heads,
quince - 2-3 pcs.,
salt per 5 liters of water - 250 g,
corn, pepper, dried dill - 100 g.
Select strong, small heads of cabbage and trim off the top, limp leaves. On each head of cabbage, lightly scrape out the stalk, make an incision or cut in half (if large, into 4 parts), sprinkle with salt. Place in rows (preferably in a barrel).
For 10 heads of cabbage put a pinch of corn grains and quince.
Prepare the brine separately. Pour brine over the cabbage, place a wooden circle on top and a weight on it.
SEALED BEET (Tsækhærayi tsækhdzhyn)
Beetroot - 10 kg,
celery and parsley with roots - 150 g,
dill - 100 g,
garlic - 20 g,
salt - 20 g (one tablespoon) per 1 liter of water,
capsicum and bay leaf - to taste.
Wash brightly colored beets without cutting off the roots, put them in boiling water and cook for 30-40 minutes from the moment of boiling so that the skins separate from the beets freely, then cool in the broth, then remove the skins by hand and chop coarsely. Pour salt into boiling water, add celery, parsley (with roots) and boil for 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat, strain and cool. Place the cooled beets in barrels, alternating with prepared garlic, dill, capsicum and parsley, with celery roots, and add a bay leaf if desired. Then pour in the cooled broth. If the beets are not covered, add cold boiled water.
PICKED CUCUMBERS (Dzhitiræ tsækhdzhynæy)
For 5 liters of water:
salt - 350-400 g.
Spices for 50 kg of cucumbers:
dill - 150 g,
garlic - 150 g,
parsnip or horseradish, greens - 250 g,
capsicum - 50 g.
Select undamaged green cucumbers and wash well, keep (1-2 hours) in cold water. Prepare a bowl for salting (preferably wooden). Place cherry, blackcurrant and horseradish leaves on the bottom of the dish. Place the cucumbers in rows, sprinkling each row with a mixture of pre-chopped hot peppers, celery roots, garlic (cloves), dill, etc. Fill the bowl. Cover the top again with cherry and black currant leaves. Boil the brine, cool it, then pour the cucumbers so that it covers them. Cover with a clean napkin and wooden lid. Place in a cool place.
SALTED TOMATOES (Badyrdzhantæ tsækhdzhynæy)
For 10 liters of water:
salt - 400-450 g,
spices - to taste.
It is better to pickle tomatoes that are brown. Select tomatoes of approximately the same ripeness and wash well in cold water. Meanwhile, chop the red pepper pods, horseradish roots, dill and peel the onions and garlic, mix it all.
Place the tomatoes in rows in a pre-prepared salting dish, sprinkling each row with a mixture of spices. Prepare the brine, cool and pour over the tomatoes. If the tomatoes are salted in a wooden bowl, then put horseradish leaves or dill on top. Cover with a clean cloth and a wooden circle. If in jars, close the lid and make a hole in the middle in advance. At the end of fermentation, fill the hole with paraffin or cover it with plasticine.
SALTED VEGETABLES (Khalsarty tsækhdzhyn)
The proportion of vegetables is to taste.
For 1 kg of mixed vegetables - 80-100 g of salt.
Remove the leaves of the chilli pepper from the stems and wash thoroughly in several waters or under running water. Place in a saucepan and add cold water, set to cook. Boil the leaves until soft. Then remove from heat and place in a sieve or colander, rinse well with cold water, drain or squeeze.
Separately cook dark red beets. Wash, remove tops and root ends. Cook over medium heat for 40-50 minutes. Then remove from heat and cool, peel and cut (if desired) into garlic cubes; Small beets don't need to be cut.
Peel the green beans from the veins and cook. Cook until soft, then drain in a colander, drain and cut crosswise into 3-5 centimeters long.
Wash and chop the bitter and sweet peppers. Small pepper pods do not need to be cut.
Sort through and wash the greens: dill, cilantro and chop. Combine all the above vegetables, herbs, add salt and mix everything well. Place in a clay or glass bowl, press tightly with your hands (you can add brown tomatoes to taste). Cover with a clean napkin or roll up.
Tomatoes suitable for pickling are medium-sized, round or plum-shaped, smooth, and fleshy. According to the degree of maturity, they can be: green, brown, red (not overripe). Before placing, wash the tomatoes in cold water.
Bulgarian pepper. Marinades are prepared from large, thick-skinned fresh peppers, green and red. Red pepper contains more vitamin C and carotene. After washing, remove the core with seeds and cut it lengthwise into 2-4 parts. Very good and tasty marinades are made from red or green peppers fried in vegetable oil. After frying, remove the skin (easily removed) and lay it vertically, pressing it against the walls of the jar.
Beet. For pickling, it is best to take dark red beets. Wash and remove root ends and tops, cook for 45-50 minutes. Then peel and cut into cubes and plates of various shapes. Small beets can be pickled whole.
Eggplant. For pickling, late, purple, fresh, completely ripe ones are taken. Cut off the stems of the eggplants, then wash and cook in a 3-4% salt solution (300-400 g of salt per 10 liters of water), avoiding excessive softening. Stuffed eggplants can also be pickled.
Prepared vegetables should be placed in jars or containers and filled with marinade.

The Ossetians-Digorians treated us to pickled pepper leaves with peppercorns, rinse and add sour cream. An original salad!!!
The famous tsakhton sauce, the recipe for which we bring to your attention, literally transforms any meat or fish dish. Most often, this sauce is used during Caucasian feasts, and it is also known under the name “tsyvzy-tsakhton”. The holiday recipes magazine website has analyzed several of the best ways to prepare tsakhton; today we are happy to share the best recipe with our readers.
Delicious sauce of Ossetian cuisine
The highlight of this sauce is that it is incredibly tasty, but retains its taste properties for no more than a couple of days - tsakhton sauce can be prepared in the classic way (with garlic), but no one forbids you to make it spicier with pepper.
Another nuance - all our recipes contain specific proportions of one or another ingredient. But such an approach in the case of tsakhton is not necessary. However, we will present our traditional table so that you understand what purchases you need to make at the market or in the store.
Tsakhton sauce recipe:
| Product | Recommendations for selection |
| Matsoni or sour cream | 500 grams. The ideal option for tsakhton sauce is matsoni. But not everyone can get such a product in a metropolis, so sour cream with up to 20% fat content is quite suitable. |
| Cilantro | Two bunches. Some people don’t like cilantro, in which case you can use parsley or dill, but you end up with a “Russian version of tsakhton.” |
| Garlic | Taste. As a rule, five cloves are enough. |
| Grated walnuts | According to desire and taste. |
| Khmeli-suneli | According to desire and taste. |
Preparing ingredients for tsakhton
How to prepare tsakhton sauce correctly? We start with garlic - in most cases, cooks use a special press, but not everyone does this. Of course, if you have the patience, you can chop the garlic as finely as possible with a regular knife. Alternatively, you can grate the garlic using a fine grater, but be careful with your fingers.
Next comes the turn of the cilantro - it also needs to be chopped as finely as possible. And here it would be useful to clarify one nuance - unfortunately, “typical knives of the average Russian” will never cope with such a task. You should take care of a sharp, high-quality knife - otherwise the greens will not be cut in the best way. You'd better spend a little more time on the cilantro than usual, but cut it as finely as possible - the greens will release their juice and aroma into the matsoni or sour cream, which will be immediately appreciated by your guests.
In the table we indicated grated walnuts and suneli hops - these are recommended but optional ingredients. By the way, sometimes the tsakhton recipe also contains adjika.
Add garlic (nuts or spices - if you dare) and herbs to the sour cream and mix everything thoroughly (we repeat - thoroughly!) with a spoon. You can, of course, use a mixer.
Place the finished sauce in the refrigerator - it should steep a little.
Tsakhton sauce with hot pepper - why not?
So, you decided to make the tsakhton even spicier. Well, this is also an interesting option. For this case we will use hot pepper.
First, take precautions - you need to cut hot peppers into slices only while wearing gloves - as soon as you touch your face with your fingers or rub your eyes, you will create problems for yourself for more than one day. Be very careful.
Place the chopped peppers in boiling water and cook for five minutes. Then cool the pepper, chop it with a knife (as finely as possible) and add to the sauce. Please, do not be lazy to boil the pepper - all those who boiled it at this stage were forced to throw away all the sauce - it turns out so hot that no one can appreciate it at all. All your hard work will go in the trash. Therefore, do not be lazy - if you get involved with pepper, be so kind as to complete the job.
See how beef is prepared in tsakhton:
Tsakhton sauce, the recipe for which is given in this article, is perfect for meat and fish dishes. It can be a great addition to potatoes or spaghetti. Use it for vegetable salads too. In a word, tsakhton is universal in culinary terms! Bon appetit!
For any meat, including ski, you need tsakhton. This is a very thick and spicy sauce based on homemade sour cream.
“In Ossetian cuisine, if we want to get its real taste, it is important that all the products taste like home. If it’s sour cream, then it’s the best, if it’s cheese, then it’s only fresh, Ossetian.”
For tsakhton you need pickled hot peppers along with leaves. It is harvested in Ossetia in the fall, leaves and fruits.
Pickled leaves should be sorted out with your hands to avoid any hard parts of the stems. Then chop coarsely. Add sour cream. In principle, they can also be prepared with homemade kefir. This is also a tasty option.
Then add salt to taste, depending on how salty the pickled base pepper is. Add black pepper for flavor. And finally, the final touch: very hot red pepper, crush it into dust with your palms, adding it to the dish.
