Plant history & use:
Somborka is a pepper that originates from the Balkan region of Europe. Some of its most distinguishing characteristics are that it has a thick flesh while having a heat that is about halfway to a "regular" chili. You can therefore say that it is a meaty pepper with heat.
Perfect for embedding. Pickled Somborka provides a sour but hot addition as a side dish and is suitable to be eaten together with a lot of dishes.
You can also fill the Somborkan with, for example, rice, minced meat and other optional ingredients to cook in the oven.
Both of these methods are common applications in Balkan cuisine.
