    1. Rinse the pork under running water and put it in a pot. 2. Clean the beef offal — tripe, lung, and heart — trimming away any veins and membranes, then rinse them under running water. 3. Add the prepped offal to the pot with the pork. 4. Cover everything with water and add salt, a bay leaf, and a few allspice berries. 5. Set the pot over the heat. Once the water boils, lower the heat and cook for one hour, skimming off the foam as you go. 6. Take the pork and offal out of the broth, let them cool slightly, then cut them into small cubes. 7. Peel and dice the onion. Sauté it in vegetable oil until soft. 8. Add the diced offal and pork to the onion, along with a little broth (about 50 ml). 9. Simmer for 5–6 minutes, until all the liquid has cooked off. 10. Season with dry spices — your choice here; utskho-suneli, dried cilantro, or savory (kondari) all work well. 11. Finely chop the hot chili pepper. For a spicier dish, leave the seeds in; otherwise, remove them. 12. Taste and add salt if needed. Simmer a couple more minutes, adding another spoonful or two of broth. 13. Peel the garlic and grate it or press it. Take the skillet off the heat and stir the garlic through the dish. Sprinkle with chopped herbs — cilantro or parsley. To serve, scatter pomegranate seeds over the top: they're not just decorative but add a light, bright note. Enjoy!
