Scientific name: Capsicum annuum

Plant history & use:
Somborka is a pepper that originates from the Balkan region of Europe. Some of its most distinctive characteristics are that it has a thick flesh while also having a heat that is about halfway to a "regular" chili. So you could say that it is a meaty pepper with heat.
Perfect for pickling. Pickled Somborka makes a sour but hot addition as a side dish and is suitable to be eaten 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.

Thrives in sunny, warm and sheltered locations. Best grown in greenhouses.
