Sloe (Blackthorn) Tkemali

Spicy, fragrant, and bold! This Georgian sauce is a culinary masterpiece! Georgian cuisine lures you in with its incredible aromas and flavors... There's just no passing up tkemali, and last time we made it with sloes. We absolutely loved it—it's the perfect all-purpose sauce for meat, a vegetable salad, plain sliced vegetables, or even fish! The amounts below yield about 700 g of finished sauce.

    1. Put the sloes in a pot, pour in the water, set over the heat, and cook, stirring, until they soften. They should release plenty of juice. 2. Add the coriander and mint. 3. Blend the garlic with the hot pepper. 4. Chop the cilantro separately. 5. Pass the warm sloes through a colander, pressing with a spoon so the pits stay behind in the sieve. 6. Return the sloe purée to the heat, add the salt and the blended pepper-and-garlic mixture. Add sugar to taste if you like. Stir. 7. When the sauce has nearly reduced, stir in the cilantro. 8. Turn off the heat once the sauce is thick enough for your liking. 9. Pour it into pre-sterilized jars and seal with lids. Let the tkemali cool, then move it to a cool place for storage. Don't forget to save a little to taste-test. Your delicious sauce is ready!
