Kuchmachi in Georgian

A hot and hearty snack for a festive feast! Hot appetizer from Georgian cuisine, hearty and flavorful due to a large amount of spices. In addition, it is prepared from offal, which also adds a peculiar flavor to the dish. Kuchmachi is made from beef giblets, lamb giblets, and chicken giblets can also be used. However, I like chicken much more. The snack is prepared very quickly, and served hot on the table, sprinkle with pomegranate seeds before serving.
