Canned chili peppers with tomatoes are a vibrant representative of Georgian cuisine, infused with the spirit of sunny Georgia. This spicy and aromatic recipe combines the heat of chili, the tenderness of stewed tomatoes, and the depth of spices. Historically, spicy preserves were an important part of Georgian cooking, allowing enjoyment of rich flavors year-round. The pepper remains whole, absorbing the sweetness and acidity of the tomatoes while coriander and garlic add spice and warmth. Perfect with meat, cheese appetizers or simply as a standalone spicy addition. Canning preserves the rich flavor for months, making this product indispensable in cold weather. Its pungency and warming effect make it a great complement to meals, especially on cool evenings.
