Abkhazian adjika spicy classic

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 20 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make spicy classic Abkhazian adjika? Prepare the ingredients according to the list. Real Abkhaz adjika in the homeland of origin of the recipe is prepared using a mortar and pestle. In modern conditions, it is unlikely that any housewife would risk processing these hot products manually, especially if they have such assistants as a food processor, blender or meat grinder at hand.

2. STEP 2

   

   To fully follow the technology for preparing Abkhazian adjika, the capsicum needs to be slightly dried after being cut from the plant. To do this, tie the peppers in a bunch or lay them out on paper in a well-ventilated room for 3-4 days. Rinse the dried pepper pods thoroughly, dry with paper napkins, cut the peppers into two parts, remove the seeds and stem. It's better to do this with gloves.

3. STEP 3

   

   Peel the garlic cloves. It is advisable to rinse the garlic again and dry it well. Vegetables must be clean and dry, as even a small drop can ruin the preparation.

4. STEP 4

   

   Place the garlic and pepper in a blender bowl and swirl the vegetables several times.

5. STEP 5

   

   Add salt and stir again until the salt is completely dissolved and the mixture is smooth.

6. STEP 6

   

   Add suneli hops, coriander and grind the mass again. Traditional Abkhaz adjika uses blue fenugreek (utskho-suneli), which is difficult to find, but fenugreek (fenugreek), which is similar in taste, is contained in the ready-made spice mixture hops-suneli, which can also be used to prepare adjika. Using a blender, it is difficult to blend the vegetable mass very finely, so I also punched the adjika with an immersion blender.

7. STEP 7

   

   Knead the vegetable mass with a spoon and place in pre-sterilized small jars, compacting tightly, and screw on with clean lids. Place the workpiece in the refrigerator or cellar for storage. A little time and effort and delicious adjika is ready. Bon appetit!

I decided to make a classic spicy Abkhazian adjika for the male half of the family. I prepared it based on 100 grams of pepper (2 servings). I used a blender to grind all the ingredients, and blended the final result with an immersion blender, as the author advises. I didn’t have that amount of hops-suneli and coriander, so I added two teaspoons of one and the other spice. The taste was very spicy for me, even if I opened the jar it hurt my eyes. But the male half of the family was very pleased. Even my eight-year-old son appreciated it and said it was very tasty. So now I’ll cook this adjika. Thank you very much for the recipe!

Hello. Is the weight of the pepper in the recipe indicated fresh or after drying?
