🇬🇪 Georgia recipe
Lobio
Lobio is the soul food of Georgia, a humble yet deeply satisfying bean stew that graces tables from the simplest village homes to the finest restaurants in Tbilisi. Made with dark red kidney beans simmered until creamy, then enriched with a walnut-herb paste and aromatic spices, it is comfort in a clay pot. Traditionally served in a ketsi earthenware dish with mchadi cornbread on the side.
