Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large red bell peppers
- 10 pieces hot red chili peppers
- 8 cloves garlic
- 1 bunch fresh cilantro
- 1 bunch fresh parsley
- 1 bunch fresh dill
- 1 tablespoon ground coriander
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 0.5 cup walnuts
- 3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
Instructions
Wash and dry the red bell peppers and hot chili peppers thoroughly. Remove the stems and seeds from the bell peppers, but leave the seeds in the chili peppers if you want an extra spicy relish.
Peel the garlic cloves and set them aside.
Rinse the cilantro, parsley, and dill under cold water. Shake off excess moisture and roughly chop the herbs.
In a food processor or blender, add the red bell peppers, hot chili peppers, garlic, chopped herbs, ground coriander, and salt.
Pulse the mixture until it forms a coarse paste. Stop and scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed to ensure even blending.
Add the walnuts and white wine vinegar to the food processor, and blend again until the mixture is smooth but retains some texture.
Taste the Adzhika and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or vinegar to suit your preference.
Transfer the Adzhika to sterilized jars and seal tightly. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Serve the Adzhika as a condiment with grilled meats, roasted vegetables, or fresh bread.
