Far from Civilization | Red Pepper Harvest and Tomato Paste for Winter

A mountain couple harvests ripe red peppers, carries the heavy crop home, and turns it into rich homemade pepper paste for winter before cooking a traditional village meal over firewood. Follow the entire red pepper harvest—from picking the peppers across a large mountain garden and filling heavy buckets and sacks to washing, cleaning, and slowly cooking the harvest. The thick homemade pepper paste is carefully packed into glass jars and stored as traditional winter food. After completing the winter preparation, we cook a hearty outdoor meal with homemade patties, eggplant, tomatoes, and fresh peppers. Everything is prepared by hand using seasonal ingredients and traditional Azerbaijani village cooking methods.

Here we cook with firewood, build our own tandoors and clay ovens, and use ingredients we grow ourselves. There is no electricity or gas — just fire, hands, and family.
