Traditional seasoning, the home of which is the Caucasus - is a Georgian Adzhika. It includes a lot of natural ingredients, spices and herbs. Due to its taste qualities, it has become popular all over the world. It is added to the dishes to give them a special flavor and aroma. Georgian Adzhika can be presented in the form of pasta or sauce. The recipe for its preparation contains many components that can change.

The real Adzhika Georgian contains hops-suneli. It is a mixture of dry spices, which is especially popular in the Caucasus. It has a strong aroma and a sharp but moderate taste.

Traditionally, the Adzhika in Georgian is prepared with the help of a mortar, where all components are ground and not cut. But in modern conditions, this process facilitated the availability of technology.

Just want to note that the number of components and their proportions are taken to taste. Adjika Georgian is being prepared as follows. Fresh hot paprika (usually it should be no less, or even more than half of the total mass) must be passed through a meat grinder. Now we need to add dry coriander, Imeretian saffron and hops-suneli to it. To improve the taste, we add ground walnuts. This component should be a little bit. Now we need to add the adjika. Salts we add slightly. In the real adjika of this ingredient is not so much. The taste of sauce is given to spices and condiments. This Adjika Georgian is suitable for those who do not like garlic.

For the next recipe, you need to take half a kilogram of hot pepper in the pods. It is recommended that they be slightly sunk in the sun for 3-4 hours. You will also need coriander seeds (spoon dining room), twice as much hops-suneli, 100 grams of walnuts, two heads of garlic, half a spoon of tea cinnamon and 200 grams of salt (preferably large).

Chopped hot peppers are chopped or crushed with a mortar. During this process, you need to add coriander, cinnamon and hops-suneli.

Walnuts are cleaned and passed through a meat grinder. Garlic is cleaned and also grinded with a meat grinder. Then combine these two ingredients with salt and mix.

Now add this mixture to the hot pepper with seasonings and mix to make the mass become homogeneous. Adjika is Georgian ready.

This product does not deteriorate, so it can be stored in a refrigerator in a tightly closed jar for a long time.

In a real Georgian adzhika never add tomatoes. Depending on the composition, the seasoning can have a different color. If you add more nuts, it will be brown. You can use green pepper (it is less spicy) and add more fresh greens. Then it will be a seasoning of green color, which is stored in ready form not very long.

Adjika is consumed mainly with meat products. But it is also served to rice, fish dishes and traditional Georgian bean dish.
