45 minutes

Lamb marinated with garlic and oregano is a dish deeply rooted in Georgian cuisine traditions, known for its aromatic and rich flavors. The marinade of fresh lemon juice, fragrant oregano, garlic, and white dry wine gives the meat an unmatched tenderness and richness. This cooking method makes the lamb juicy and infused with spicy notes, perfect for grilling over an open flame. After long marination, the meat acquires subtle hints of herbs and spices, revealing a rich flavor bouquet. The finished dish is served hot with light side dishes or Georgian sauces that enhance its aroma. It is excellent for festive gatherings and heartfelt meetings, filling the atmosphere with the warmth of Georgian hospitality.
