Beef Kharcho with Walnuts

Soup with walnuts? Yes — and a really delicious one at that! Georgian kharcho has a fantastic flavor: a rich meat broth with that signature zing and gentle heat that make it one of a kind and give it real charm. We love Georgian food, so we make kharcho often. Give it a try too.

  • Rinse the beef, put it in a pot, cover with water, and set over the heat. Bring to a boil, lower the heat, and cook the broth for one hour. Then add the peppercorns and bay leaves and keep cooking for another 30–60 minutes. Rinse the rice until the water runs clear, add it to the soup, and cook for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, prep the walnuts: toast them in a dry skillet, then grind them in a blender (or crush them with a rolling pin). Rinse the cilantro and chop it finely. When the kharcho is nearly done (5 minutes before turning off the heat), stir in the seasoning blend, the walnuts, and the fresh cilantro. Taste for salt and adjust. Cover and let the soup rest for 10–15 minutes, then it's ready to enjoy. Enjoy!
