This Georgian chilli paste hails from Abkhazia and the Samegrelo region of Western Georgia and is commonly used in sauces or as a rub for meats. Spicy and unique, it is easy to make and incredibly flavourful

Steps:
- In the bowl of a food processor, add the Romano peppers, red chillies and garlic to the bowl of a food processor. Pulse a few times until the contents are very finely chopped.
- Scrape down the sides of the bowl and add the cilantro, basil, parsley and salt. Pulse again until the herbs are finely chopped and everything is well incorporated
- Scrape the bowl once more and add the fenugreek, marigold and coriander. Pulse again just to combine. Then, with the machine running, slowly stream in the oil until it is well emulsified.
- Transfer the adjika to a fine mesh sieve and drain any excess liquid away until it has the consistency of a thick paste. Taste to adjust for seasoning - it should be very salty as this is what preserves it for a long time.
- Transfer to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator or use right away

ABKHAZIAN ADJIKA
This recipe is from week one of my food blog, "Travel by Stove." I am attempting to cook one meal from every country in the world, starting with Abkhazia (a very small country near Georgia). Adjika is a kind of condiment popular in several countries in that part of the world. I had a hard time finding an actual recipe for Abkhazian Adjika, so here is my best guess, based on a few vague references I found online. Adjika can be used to flavor chicken or other dishes, or you could be creative and spread it on bread or sandwiches.
