I love Georgian cuisine - spicy, spicy, fragrant. Satsivi was no exception. Chicken acts in a completely different role - nuts and spices reveal its taste in a new way. You can also cook fish, turkey, vegetables under the satsivi sauce.

How to make a classic Georgian chicken satsivi? Prepare the products. Take a small size chicken, homemade or soup is best. I have bought, I cooked from half. Instead of vinegar, you can use lemon or pomegranate juice. Spices are important in this dish, they will give it the aroma of Georgia. I took hops-suneli and red peppers, they also put cinnamon and saffron.

Put the chicken in a pan of cold, clean water. Put one peeled onion, garlic cloves and cilantro sprigs in the same place.

Place the chicken pot on a medium heat. Wait for the boil, remove the foam with a spoon. Salt the stock. Cook the chicken until tender, homemade longer, shop less. My hour was enough. After cooking, remove the chicken from the broth.

For the sauce, take the remaining onions and cut them into small cubes.

Heat the pan with olive oil. Place the onions on top of it. Saute it over a low heat until clear. Then cool a little.

Grind the nuts and onions. You can use a meat grinder, or you can use a blender or shredder. I scrolled them in the combine. If you use a meat grinder, then miss them twice. Nuts should become mush.

Place the nut mass in a frying pan or in a thick-bottomed cauldron.

Start pouring the stock into it in parts, with constant stirring. The sauce should become in consistency like liquid sour cream.

Bring the sauce to a boil over a low heat. Boil it until thick sour cream. It will take about 10 minutes.

At the end, add salt and spices to the sauce. Stir. Pour in the vinegar. Turn off the heating. The sauce is ready.

Cut the chicken into separate pieces, freeing the meat from the bones.

Pour the sauce over it, stir and cool completely. Serve the satsivi, garnishing with cilantro and pomegranate grains on top. Enjoy your meal!

Since the degree of salinity, sweetness, bitterness, sharpness, acid, burning is individual for everyone, always add spices, spices and seasonings, focusing on your taste! If you put some of the seasonings for the first time, then consider that there are spices that are especially important not to shift (for example, chili peppers).
