Ali & Ilgar

Today I visited 2 Azeri Engineers who are currently based in Batam, they are helping me out for my Thesis on an Oil Rig in Azerbaijan.
Meet Ali and Ilgar.
After an insightful conversation in Ilgar's living room,
we had lunch which Ilgar prepared for us.
Pink Pickled Cabbage.
Cabbage, carrots, beetroots and small green chillis pickled in salt.
A traditional Azerbaijan side made by Ilgar's wife.

Lamb Stew.
Prepared by Ilgar and made with fresh lamb chops, potatos, aubergine, chilli peppers and caramelised onions, garnished with fresh coriander leaves.
