A light matsoni dressing cements the friendship with spinach and arugula. A special nuance is that the liver is fried in a mixture of spices.

Matsoni is a thick fermented milk product that is very popular in Georgia and the Caucasus in general. Its consistency is similar to crème caramel. Before the revolution, there was even a Georgian company that supplied matsoni to Paris. Matsoni is made from different types of milk. The most exotic matsoni is bluish in color - from buffalo milk. Matsoni is added to dough, soups, and most often eaten just like that. In Georgia, it is customary to buy matsoni from matsoni vendors who sell it on the street in glass jars. To understand whether the matsoni is good, you need to turn the jar upside down: if the matsoni does not flow, then it is good.
