Tkemali green

90 minutes

Tkemali green is a traditional Georgian sauce that embodies the summer freshness and spiciness of the Caucasus. Its base is green plum, giving the sauce a refreshing tartness, while herbs, garlic, and coriander add a rich aroma. Tkemali perfectly complements meat dishes, especially kebabs, helping to reveal the depth of flavor. The mild spiciness of green pepper awakens the appetite, while mint adds a subtle coolness. This sauce is not just a condiment but an important part of the Georgian meal that brings a festive mood to dishes. It can be served with roasted meat as well as vegetables or fish, creating harmony of flavors and textures.
