While the adjika is being prepared, the banks need to be sterilized. The easiest way is with a microwave oven.

We sterilize the lids by boiling over a fire for 15 minutes.
Pour the prepared vegetable mixture into jars, tighten the lids and the adjika is ready. She needs to stand for at least a few days before the first jar is opened to the table. Bon Appetit.
