The Story Behind It

The Tale of Satsivi

Satsivi, chicken or turkey in a thick, spiced walnut sauce, showcases Georgia's centuries-old culinary use of walnuts, historically abundant in the Caucasus region and central to many classic Georgian dishes. It's traditionally served cold or at room temperature and is a fixture of Georgian holiday feasts, especially around New Year's.

Ingredients

Scale:· 6 servings

3 lb whole chicken, cut into pieces
2 cups ground walnuts
5 cloves garlic
1 onion, chopped
2 cups chicken stock
2 tbsp vinegar
1 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp blue fenugreek
1 tsp paprika
Salt, to taste

Instructions

1Simmer the chicken pieces in salted water with onion until cooked through and tender, about 30 minutes, reserving the stock.
2Saute the remaining onion until soft.
3Blend the ground walnuts with garlic, spices, and about 2 cups of the reserved chicken stock until smooth.
4Combine the walnut mixture with the sauteed onion in a pot and heat gently, stirring, until it thickens slightly, being careful not to boil hard.
5Add the vinegar and season with salt.
6Pour the sauce over the cooked chicken pieces and let sit to absorb the flavor.
7Serve at room temperature or slightly warm.
