Carefully remove the jar with tongs and place it on a dry clean towel so that all excess water drains. Sterilize the lid in the same way - boil it for 5-10 minutes.

Adjika from peppers with herbs - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, you can substitute dried herbs, but use about one-third the amount since dried herbs are more concentrated. For best flavor, rehydrate them in a little warm water before adding.
Homemade adjika will keep for up to 2 weeks in an airtight container in the refrigerator. For longer storage, follow the sterilization method mentioned for winter preparation.
Yes, this adjika recipe is naturally vegan as it contains no animal products—just peppers, herbs, garlic, oil, and vinegar.
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.
Absolutely! Freeze adjika in small portions (ice cube trays work well) for up to 6 months. Thaw in the fridge before use.
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!
Yes, apple cider vinegar adds a fruity nuance. White wine vinegar also works well for a milder tang.
Submerge clean jars and lids in boiling water (as in Step 5), ensuring no air bubbles remain. Dry upside-down on a clean towel before filling.
