Satsivi

10 servings

180 minutes

Satsivi is both a sauce and a dish: in the latter case, it is poured over boiled turkey. In a few hours, the meat is soaked in the sauce and becomes very tender. In Georgia, satsivi is made very light. To do this, walnuts need to be peeled. As a side dish , satsivi is traditionally served with mamalyga.
