Its taste will conquer even the most demanding gourmet: a recipe for Georgian adjika for the winter
Adjika is a spicy, hot condiment originating from Georgian and Abkhazian cuisine. In the traditional recipe, it is a paste made exclusively from red pepper, garlic, salt, and spices.
The host of the YouTube channel Cooking with Franco and Marta shared her version of Georgian adjika.
Some variations of the recipe may include fresh cilantro and walnuts. Tomatoes, apples, carrots, or plums are sometimes added to give a sweetish flavor, although this sauce is already significantly different from the original adjika.
Due to its composition, classic Georgian adjika is perfectly preserved without losing its flavor. It can be used as an addition to a variety of sauces and dishes.
