Green Ajika

Ajika is a hot, spicy, tasty pepper paste. You can add ajika to soups, side dishes, vegetables, salads or use it to rub meat before frying.

Ingredients

500 g Green hot pepper
2 heads Garlic, mashed
1 bunch Fresh coriander
1 bunch Fresh parsley
100 g Walnuts, ground
20 g Salt

Directions

Wash and slightly dry the peppers and greens. If you don't want your ajika to be very hot, remove the seeds. Cut and crush all ingredients in food processor. You can use a meat grinder or a pestle and mortar too. Some people prefer to add other greens to ajika, such as celery, mint, dill or dry spices.

Transfer ajika into clean, sterilized, small glass jars and store in a refrigerator.
