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."

Thanks for the recipe. BTW, Abkhazia is a region of the Republic of Georgia, it is not a country.
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I am a mother of two with another one on the way! I am married to an Englishman and we own a small business in our local area. We live in a very small town called Rough and Ready (yes there really is a place called Rough and Ready!) I am a part-time writer and full time mom. My kids were born 15 months apart and keep me so busy I barely have enough time to cook and no time at all for my other passion, horseback riding. I once had four horses but am down to two; my Arab mare Argo and old Denver. Both of them spend the vast majority of their time standing around in my back yard eating hay. I get to feed them and look at them, but until my kids are all in school (and I stop having more kids) that's about it.
