30 minutes
Chicken Satsivi is a refined dish inspired by Georgian culinary traditions but interpreted with an authorial approach. Tender chicken meat soaked in a rich walnut sauce creates a harmony of flavors where the creamy texture of the nuts intertwines with subtle spicy notes of anise and cumin. This sauce envelops the chicken, filling it with a velvety taste while the soft aroma of spices adds mystery. The flavor of the dish unfolds gradually: first the richness of walnuts, then a slight acidity finishing with a warm trail of spices. Satsivi is perfect for a leisurely dinner, enjoying exquisite combinations and revealing deep gastronomic nuances. It is served chilled or slightly warm, complementing the atmosphere of home comfort and sophistication.
