AJIKA

 

This spicy red pepper medley is chunky, garlicky, fragrant, spicy, pleasantly herbal, and unlike anything else. When mixed with walnuts, oil and vinegar, it is reminiscent of pesto. Without walnuts it eats like a delightful salsa.
Made from mixed red chilies*, minced garlic*, tomato*, coriander*, fenugreek*, savory*, marjoram*, calendula*, dill*, apple cider vinegar*. *organic


Blend with or without fresh tomato and nuts to create a dip or spread ideal for a cheese plate.

Sprinkle on meats or veg before roasting or grilling for colorful, bright, spicy, garlicky flavor.

Swirl into yogurt or labneh for a gorgeous addition to your mezze plate.

Stir into cooked grains like rice and barley for an exciting new take on pilaf.
