Ajika with carrots and tomatoes
Description
Minimal ingredients — excellent result. These days, people are increasingly adding tomatoes, sweet peppers, and other vegetables, even fruits and nuts, to adjika! Store-bought adjika usually contains tomatoes, garlic, and red pepper; such adjika resembles a sauce more than a spice, as it's less spicy in taste. I'm sharing my homemade recipe. The finished sauce can be stored in the refrigerator for several days.
