Adjika is a very zesty, wholesome condiment. This adjika comes out spicy, of course, but very aromatic. It goes with almost any dish, especially meat. It pairs perfectly with grilled kebabs.

  • There are no photos, so I'll describe how to do everything. Cut the peppers in half lengthwise and remove the stems, seeds, and any blemishes. Peel the garlic. Wash the herbs. Put the peppers, garlic, and herbs in a food processor or blender. Grind everything, but not too fine. If you don't have a blender or food processor, run it through a meat grinder with a fine plate. Lightly toast the sesame, coriander, and cumin in a dry skillet without oil until a faint aroma comes up. Then tip this mix into a mortar, add the salt, and pound it lightly — but not to a powder. Add the crushed dry-spice mix to the pepper, garlic, and herb mixture, add the ground thyme, and mix everything thoroughly. Spoon the finished product into a container (a jar, tub, etc.) and leave it, ideally for three days, to develop — though you can use it right away. Enjoy.
