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.

• Ready In: 10 mins
• Yields: 1/2 cup adjika

Ingredients

• 2  red  jalapenos (I'm sure the Abkhazians use some other kind of spicy red pepper. Use more if you prefer a spicier co)
• 6  garlic cloves
• 2  tablespoons cilantro, chopped
• 2  tablespoons dill, chopped
• 2  tablespoons parsley, chopped
• 1⁄4 cup olive oil (give or take)
• 2  tablespoons walnuts, chopped
• 1  pinch salt

Directions

1. Put all dry ingredients into a food processor or blender and pulse, adding olive oil, until the adjika is a pasty consistency.
