It is very tasty and healthy at the same time, especially with the onset of cold autumn and winter days.
Quite an interesting option, there are several nuances.
Bell pepper, wash well and remove seeds.
Important! When we buy pepper, we take it with a margin, that is, the recipe indicates the net weight - 2 kg., Respectively, you need to buy, about 2.5 kilograms.
It is better to buy peppers with a bright red color, then adjika will acquire a rich, red color, stimulating the appetite.
We cut off the leg of the bitter pepper, and leave the seeds inside the seeds, I will give the adjika beauty and aroma.
We clean the garlic.
Important! It remains to prepare the tomatoes, they need to be peeled.
In order to quickly and efficiently remove the skin from a tomato, you need to boil water in a saucepan.
We make an incision crosswise on the tomato (prepare a sharp knife ...).
We lower the tomato into boiling water, hold it for about a minute, take it out and check if the skin is easily removed, then we remove it all. In this way, we will easily peel all the tomatoes.
All prepared vegetables: bell peppers, tomatoes, garlic and bitter are passed through a meat grinder.
Add sugar, salt and vegetable oil to this total mass and mix well.
We send adjika to the fire, it will boil and cook for 30 minutes over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
At this time, we prepare sterilized jars.
Half an hour has passed, we pour the adjika into the jars, still boiling. Close with lids and roll up. Turn over, all the banks and see if they are leaking? Cover with a towel and leave in this state until it cools completely.
We take it to where you have a warehouse with blanks. Now adjika has replenished it for the winter.

Prepare cooked vegetables. Peel the garlic. Wash the pepper, remove the seeds. Cut into medium pieces. Send everything to a blender and grind until smooth. If not, then use a meat grinder. You will have to tinker with it, but it will not affect the quality.
Place a dry skillet over medium heat. When the pan is a little hot, add the cumin seeds and coriander. Be sure to watch so that they do not burn. The moment you feel the aroma coming from the spices, remove the pan from the heat and transfer the contents to another container.

It is indispensable for maintaining a normal, elastic state of blood vessels and has a beneficial effect on the heart. If you delve further into medicine, then garlic prevents the development of cancer, diseases of the prostate, and oral cavity, intestines. And most importantly, garlic protects against vampires (just kidding ...).
