Decoration methods and serving options
- Adzhika may include such vegetables: tomatoes, eggplant, hot and sweet peppers, carrots, beets, walnuts, garlic and horseradish. It is also cooked with berries and fruits.
- Use only ripe tomatoes, and preferably fleshy. You can also peel them off.
- Prepare raw adjika only from ripe vegetables, without any damage and rot, otherwise the mass will ferment in a few days.
- If you have watery eyes while twisting horseradish, then put a bag on the outlet of the meat grinder and fix it with an elastic band. Thus, you can avoid the pungent horseradish smell.
- If you have adjika in jars under silicone covers, you can store it in the refrigerator or in the basement.
- Pepper, garlic, herbs and spices are best grinded in a mortar. Thus, the taste of adjika will be more intense.
