Family recipe for Georgian sauce Adjika

Cut open the chili peppers and bell peppers and remove the seeds. Please wear rubber gloves and eyeglasses when handling hot peppers. Wash the cilantro thoroughly and remove any wilted leaves. Then mince the chili peppers, bell peppers, fresh cilantro, and garlic (100–150 g, depending on taste) and mix well. Add the remaining spices and stir well. Fill jars, screw the lids shut, and store in the refrigerator. This recipe has been passed down from mother to daughter by word of mouth (!) for several generations in our family. This sauce is rich in vitamins and healthy. Georgian adjika can be served with meat and potatoes, added to soup as a seasoning, or simply spread on buttered bread.
