Acika breakfast sauce is a pepper-and-spice paste associated with the Caucasus, especially Abkhazia and Georgia. Breakfast versions commonly include walnuts alongside peppers, with recipes sometimes adding tomato, garlic and other seasonings. It has a rich, slightly oily texture and a pronounced savoury heat, so a little goes a long way.
In its region of origin it can be served with bread and alongside other dishes; elsewhere, try it spread thinly on toast, tucked into a sandwich or set out as a dip with fresh vegetables. Walnuts make it energy-dense: it provides 320 calories per 100 g. Pairing a small amount with vegetables, eggs or plain yoghurt makes for a more balanced breakfast.
