Hot pepper adjika is another variation of the famous seasoning of Caucasian cuisine. It is great as an addition to main dishes, meat, side dishes, and also as an independent product. Smoked peppers have long been used for adjika to give it a more pronounced and piquant taste. However, now the rules for preparing this seasoning have changed, and only fresh peppers are used. The seasoning has long become a “decoration” of many dishes: it inspires many cooks to experiment. Dishes with the addition of adjika are rich and aromatic. We can say with certainty that a little piquancy in a dish will only enhance its taste.
