Spicy tomato adjika is a seasoning that I prepare every fall, providing the whole family with a supply of vitamins for the whole winter. This sauce is perfect for any meat dishes: fried or stewed meat, dumplings, side dishes. In addition, it can be used in the preparation of various dishes. The proportions of ingredients for her are different for everyone - someone likes it sharper, and someone is sweeter, try to prepare one jar and you will understand what else is missing in your homemade adjika.

Wash the tomatoes thoroughly. It is worth noting here that I take small oblong tomatoes for adjika - they are fleshy, tasty and great for making tomato puree.

Grind the tomatoes in a blender or mince them.

Place the tomato puree in a saucepan and place over medium heat. When the thick begins to gurgle (boil), reduce the heat. Cook the tomatoes, about 15 minutes, until most of the liquid has evaporated.

In the meantime, let's prepare the second batch of ingredients. Wash the bell peppers, remove seeds and cut into several slices. Extract seeds from hot red pepper and cut into thin rings.

Grind in a blender alternately, first hot red pepper, and then sweet pepper.

Add sweet and hot peppers to the saucepan to the tomatoes, stir and cook for 10 minutes.

Garlic is the main ingredient in homemade adjika. We need 1.5 - 2 heads, depending on your preferences.

Squeeze the peeled garlic through a press into a saucepan. Add salt and sugar. Stir well and continue cooking for another 5 minutes. (taste adjika, if there is little salt, add more)

Put the finished adjika in sterilized jars and twist. Wait for the jars to cool and put them in the refrigerator. Serve spicy adjika with any dishes: side dishes, meat, etc.

Enjoy your meal!
