🇬🇪 Georgia recipe

Satsivi

Satsivi is the crown jewel of the Georgian New Year's table, a magnificent cold dish of poached chicken or turkey draped in a velvety, ivory-colored walnut sauce perfumed with a complex blend of spices. The sauce is the heart of the dish: ground walnuts emulsified with broth and aromatics into something silky, nutty, and luxurious. Satsivi demands patience and precision but rewards with a dish of extraordinary depth that improves overnight.
