Vegetables from Iran, Turkey, Iraq, the Balkans, the Caucasus, the Levant
Torshi / turşu (brine-fermented types)ترشی
Mixed vegetables such as cucumbers, cauliflower, cabbage and peppers are covered in salt brine and left for weeks while lactic bacteria sour them. Many kinds are then rinsed and finished with vinegar, lemon or date syrup; others, especially in Iran, are vinegar pickles that are not fermented at all. Made in 4 steps over 36 days – 56 days. The longest step, cover with brine and ferment, takes 30–40 days (Muhialdin B.J 2022). Salt is 12 % (Muhialdin B.J 2022). Lactiplantibacillus plantarum, the main lactic bacterium in Iranian pickles and Levilactobacillus brevis, Lactiplantibacillus pentosus, Lacticaseibacillus casei and L. paracasei, and Leuconostoc mesenteroides do most of the fermenting.
Amounts from a sourceThe amounts are part of a traditional Iraqi recipe for 10 kg of turshi medabis (Al-Najaf), as given in a 2022 review. The printed recipe lists cucumber twice (3 kg and 2 kg); only the first line is shown.
Date syrup, in water, for the second ferment · Turshi medabis also uses apple cider and tamarind[muhialdin2022]

What makes this one different
Torshi and turşu cover many pickles; this entry is the brine-fermented kind. Many Persian torshi are vinegar pickles and are not fermented. The Iraqi turshi medabis ferments twice, first in strong brine and then, after desalting, with date syrup.
Turshi mahshi (Nineveh, Iraq)Cucumbers and bell peppers from the first ferment are stuffed with coriander, parsley, garlic, celery and chilli, then fermented 3–5 days in water with 5 % lemon juice and 10 % date vinegar.
Persian vinegar torshi (e.g. torshi-ye liteh)Vinegar and eggplant; not fermented.
Turkish lahana turşusuBrined cabbage.
Safety
Home-made turshi caused a botulism outbreak among Middle Eastern immigrants in the United States. Iraqi turshi keeps about 10 days at room temperature but is best eaten within 2–3 days.
Hazards the sources name: Clostridium botulinum in home-made turshi (a botulism outbreak in a US immigrant community).
