Na jugu Srbije paprike su zasađene na
više od 2.000 hektara, a Leskovac je prepo-
znatljiv po starim domaćim sortama poput le-
skovačke turšijare, kozjeg roga ili ljutače. Od
crvene kurtovske paprike pravi se najbolji aj-
var, čuveni specijalitet tog dela Srbije, a uzga-
jivači su do današnjih dana očuvali seme koje
su im pre sedam vekova preci doneli iz Tur-
ske. Posebno je cenjena nizača, autohtona pa-
prika iz sela Donja Lokošnica. Niže se na ko-
nac, potom suši. Na
Danima paprike
, koji se
sredinom septembra održavaju u tom selu,
paprika se prodaje kao mlevena i gruvana, a
sušena se nudi „deset u vezi“ ili „na venac“.
In the south of Serbia bell peppers are
planted on an area of more than 2,000 hecta-
res. Leskovac is recognisable for the old local
varieties such as the
turšijara
,
kozji rog
or
ljuta-
ča
. Red bell peppers are used to make the best
ajvar
, a famous speciality, and growers have to
this day preserved the seeds that were brought
from Turkey seven centuries ago. Particularly
valued is an indigenous pepper from the village
of Donja Lokošnica. It is arranged on a thread
and then dried. At the Days of Peppers event in
this village in mid-September, peppers are sold
as ground and smashed, while dried ones are
offered as “ten connected” or “on the wreath”.
