What Is Adjika?
Adjika is one of Georgia’s most iconic flavour bases. Traditionally prepared with hot peppers, garlic, salt and herbs, it delivers a concentrated savoury heat that works beautifully in sauces, marinades, soups and roasted dishes.
In Georgian cooking, Adjika is prized for its versatility. It can lift grilled meats, bring warmth to vegetable dishes and add richness to everyday recipes without complicating the process.
Ingredients
- 1kg potatoes, cut into wedges or chunks
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 to 2 tbsp TAMADA Abkhazian Adjika Sauce
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed
- Fresh parsley or coriander, to finish
- Optional: yoghurt or sour cream for serving
Method
-
Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 220°C and line a baking tray with baking paper.

Parboil the potatoes: Cook the potatoes for 8 to 10 minutes, then drain well and allow them to steam dry.
-
Make the flavour coating: Mix the olive oil, Adjika sauce and crushed garlic in a large bowl.
-
Toss thoroughly: Add the potatoes and coat them evenly so every piece is covered in the spice mixture.
-
Roast until golden: Spread the potatoes in a single layer and roast for 35 to 45 minutes, turning halfway through, until crisp and deeply golden.
-
Finish and serve: Scatter with fresh herbs and serve immediately with yoghurt or sour cream if desired.
