Collection: Ajvar & Lutenitsa & Sauces

Additive-Free, Preservative-Free, Homemade Flavors: Table Sauces

At Sofya’s Backyard, we harvest tomatoes and peppers in season and prepare them in our own village together with Ayşe Abla and the village women. We add no additives or preservatives. There is only natural produce, traditional recipes, and village labor.

🌶️ Ajika (Breakfast Sauce) – Prepared with pepper paste, walnuts, and spices. Perfect for breakfasts, on bread, or as part of a mezze platter.
🌶️ Hot Sauce – Made from the hot peppers in our garden. It retains a roasted flavor, has a balanced heat, and is additive-free and natural.
🍅 Tomato Sauce – Simple, made from seasonal tomatoes. Ideal for use in dishes, pasta, or on bread.
🌶️🍅 Tomato Sauce with Kapia Pepper – We brought together sweet kapia peppers and tomatoes. It is versatile enough to be both a breakfast spread and a cooking sauce.
🍆🌶️🍅 Lutenitsa Sauce – A rich, delicious Balkan-style sauce made with roasted eggplant, tomatoes, and peppers. It goes wonderfully both on bread and as a side dish.

All of our products are homemade, prepared in glass jars, and pasteurized.
None of them contain pre-made additives, preservatives, or artificial flavors.
There is only real produce, village-style methods, and the taste of home.
