Satsebeli tomato sauce

1 serving

90 minutes

Satsebeli is translated from Georgian as just a sauce, any sauce, without details or explanations. It is no coincidence that the recipe for this main Caucasian seasoning for shashlik is so changeable. It is originally fruit and berry, with sourish flavors like pomegranate or blackberry. But now the main version of satsebeli is considered to be tomato, in which they add sweet and hot peppers and hops-suneli. But they do not add greens: Mamia Dzhodzhua, chef of the Kazbek restaurant, who shared with us the recipe for traditional satsebeli, considers this a violation of the canons.
