Ajika Rubanovskaya is a rich, aromatic sauce from Georgian cuisine that captivates with its spiciness and depth of flavor. At its heart are ripe tomatoes, apples, carrots, and sweet peppers that add softness and sweetness. However, the key highlights are created by garlic and hot red pepper, adding fiery passion to every dish. The sauce is simmered slowly to allow the ingredients to reveal all their nuances, while apple cider vinegar and vegetable oil enrich the texture. This sauce not only pairs wonderfully with meat and fish but also serves as an excellent complement to vegetable appetizers. Georgian ajika is known for its ability to awaken the appetite and enhance the flavor of any dish.
