Trim the pepper stems and remove the seeds without breaking up the peppers.
Boil the milk and let it cool until warm, then whisk in the yogurt and rock salt until smooth.
Mix the lor cheese with crushed garlic and loosely fill the peppers.
Stand the peppers upright in a clean jar and pour in enough warm milk mixture to cover them.
Ferment the jar at room temperature for 48 hours, placing a plate underneath for overflow.
Move the milk-pepper pickle to the refrigerator, chill for 6 hours, and serve like a breakfast relish.
💡 Tip: Boil the milk and let it cool until warm; very hot milk curdles the lor cheese, while cold milk slows safe fermentation in a home kitchen.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve milk-pepper pickle at breakfast in a small bowl, with optional toasted country bread and tomato slices.
