Control the heat by reducing or increasing the amount of hot pepper. For mild adjika, remove the seeds and membranes from the peppers before blending.

Try adjika as a condiment with grilled meats, mixed into soups, spread on sandwiches, or as a dip for bread and vegetables.
A food processor or blender ensures a smooth paste, but you can finely mince everything by hand for a chunkier texture—just be patient!
