Chakapuli
10 servings
90 minutes
Chakapuli is translated from Georgian as "meat in foam" and is young meat stewed with greens. Chakapuli is often prepared for Easter and St. George's Day, and since these days are celebrated far from cities, chakapuli is cooked over a fire. It is supposed to be eaten hot, and washed down with wine, of course.
