Adjika from peppers for the winter - one of the simplest and most popular preserves. Of course, if you do not take into account the various pickled cucumbers and tomatoes. Adjika itself is a very thick sauce that is prepared from various vegetables. The traditional ingredient in the sauce is hot (bitter) pepper, but bell peppers are also often used. Not a single adjika can do without garlic, because to a greater extent it is he who is responsible for the degree of pungency of the dish.
It is a mistake to assume that spicy food is harmful to human health. In fact, foods like hot peppers and garlic kill germs and fight colds. Therefore, it is easy to assume that a homemade sauce such as adjika is more likely to strengthen the immune system.
We will not use too many spices to create adjika, even a very small amount of salt is required. The result is a vegetable sauce that goes well with many dishes.
The step-by-step photo recipe below will clearly demonstrate how you can properly prepare adjika from hot pepper and garlic in the most traditional and classic way. We will not use tomatoes in this recipe; instead, Bulgarian pepper will give tenderness to the dish. An appetizing blank can be served almost immediately after preparation, which is also a definite plus.
Let's start closing hot and sweet peppers adjika with garlic for the winter according to the best (simple and delicious) recipe at home!
It is worth starting the preparation of adjika with the choice of bitter pepper and this is an incredibly important stage. It is at this moment that the fate of your future workpiece is literally being decided. We go to the market and try to choose the medium-hot pepper that is most suitable for us for making adjika. Of course, if there is an opportunity to collect pepper at your own dacha, then there is nothing to think about. The pepper should be large enough, always red and young.
No less it is important to choose also ripe, fleshy and young sweet bell peppers, approximately the same as shown in the photo. We choose red pepper solely for reasons of aesthetics; this will not affect the taste in any way.
Do not forget to also stock up on a set of hop-suneli spices. If it is not possible to prepare the mixture yourself, then you can purchase ready-made packages in the store.
With the choice of ingredients finished and you can proceed directly to the preparation of healthy homemade adjika. First of all, we thoroughly rinse the peppers in cold water, then we clean them of seeds and remove the green stalks. Gloves are strongly recommended when handling hot peppers. Cut the pulp into large pieces for the convenience of further processing.
Grind the peppers in portions; for this purpose, you can use a meat grinder or food processor. We send the workpiece to a large pan. We peel the cloves of young garlic, also finely chop them with a knife or all in the same combine. Add the slices to the peppers in a saucepan.
At this stage, put the prepared set of hops-suneli spices into a saucepan with chopped peppers and garlic. If you are confused by their number, then you can add the seasoning to your liking.
Put the coriander in a mortar and finely chop it with a wooden pestle. This method of grinding will preserve the maximum aroma in the spice.
Pour the crushed coriander into a saucepan, send salt there to taste and mix the ingredients very thoroughly until a homogeneous mass is obtained using a wooden spoon. We will not subject our workpiece to heat treatment, so that it will fully preserve the natural taste of all its ingredients.
Pour boiling water over small glass jars and dry sterilize for steam or in the oven, then give them time to cool completely. We fill the jars with fragrant adjika to the very top and tighten the lids tightly. It is necessary to store such a workpiece only in the refrigerator, otherwise it may deteriorate.

Adjika is a very popular dish with us, originally from Abkhazia. In fact, the classic Abkhaz adjika is prepared from fresh herbs, garlic, salt and fresh vegetables. The Abkhazians ground all the ingredients between two flat stones to get a pasty mass. Nowadays, everything is easier - in the kitchen there are such good electric helpers as a blender or a meat grinder. And there are so many recipes for adjika that they cook it with tomatoes, peppers, carrots, and even zucchini and eggplants. The taste of adjika only benefited from the new ingredients. You can see for yourself and get acquainted with delicious recipes. And adjika for the winter is just an indispensable element of autumn preparations.
I used to think that adjika should be very spicy. But after trying many recipes, I realized that we can regulate the pungency ourselves.
I have been cooking this recipe for many years and it always turns out very tasty. It is rare that the stocks of this adjika live up to the New Year. I recommend.
Such adjika is prepared simply.
2. Put chopped vegetables in a large saucepan, bring to a boil and simmer for about 1 hour.
3. Pour sugar, salt, vegetable oil and vinegar into the vegetable mass.
Recently I got a comment about the large amount of vinegar in this recipe, and I want to say that this is a matter of taste. For such a large amount of vegetables (5.5 kg) my family's taste is just right. But if in doubt, use less vinegar.
4. Finely chop the garlic (you can also pass it through a meat grinder), and also add to the almost finished adjika.
5. For spiciness, add hot pepper if desired and to taste. We love sharper, since adjika.
6. Cook for another 5 minutes and place in sterilized jars.
The most vitamin and healthy adjika is obtained if vegetables are not cooked. Such raw adjika should be stored, of course, in the refrigerator and placed in sterilized jars.
For raw adjika, it is better to use tomatoes, less juicy tomatoes, I usually use fingers.
For a spicier dish, use hot peppers with the seeds. And if you like a delicate taste, then remove the seeds from the pepper.
2. Add salt and sugar, stir everything and put it in pre-sterilized jars.
It really couldn't be easier?
Another great raw adjika recipe for those who prepare this vitamin snack without boiling vegetables. Adjika according to this recipe turns out to be spicy and tasty.
1.Wash all vegetables, peel and grind with a blender.
2. Chop the garlic.
3. Pass tomatoes, sweet and hot peppers through a blender.
Sometimes it happens that hot pepper is hard to grind in a blender, it gets stuck - add a few tomatoes to it and the process will go easier
4. Finally, add sugar, salt and vinegar.
5. All mix well and put in sterilized jars.
You can store such adjika and any other utensils, but then it will be stored much less. With tomatoes and ajika bell pepper, I do not risk storing for more than a month without sterilization - it can ferment.
Spicy, of course, adjika turns out, because here we will add hot peppers, horseradish, and vinegar. But in my family they love spicy food, so we also cook scalding adjika. In the end, you can always determine the amount of hot peppers, horseradish and vinegar yourself to get the pungency and acidity that are comfortable for your stomach.
2. Add salt, sugar, horseradish and vinegar, stir everything well.
3. Add finely chopped fresh herbs to this mass to taste. It is advisable to cut the greens into smaller pieces. Stir everything well so that the vegetables become friends.
4. Place in sterilized jars.
Adjika with apples has become a good find for me from all the recipes. Apples give adjika a sweetish taste and at the same time soften the pungency of vinegar and pepper. In addition, there is a use for apples if it is a fruitful year.
2. Put all vegetables in a deep saucepan and pour in vegetable oil. Bring to a boil and simmer for 1 hour.
3. Peel and grind the garlic using a meat grinder or blender. Add the garlic to the vegetable mass.
