🇬🇪 Georgia recipe

Chakapuli

Chakapuli is the definitive taste of Georgian spring, a bright and aromatic stew that celebrates the season's young tarragon, sour green plums, and tender lamb. Simmered in white wine with a profusion of fresh herbs, the dish is tangy, herbaceous, and deeply savory. It is traditionally prepared for Easter and the spring feast of Giorgoba, making it one of the most anticipated dishes of the Georgian culinary calendar.
