  • When I was visiting Georgia, I was treated to satsivi. There, it's served at weddings and other celebrations. I loved the dish so much that now I make it at home every chance I get. Let me teach you how it's done. Take a chicken — a good farm bird is best — and boil it until halfway done. Then carefully move it to a baking sheet to brown a little in the oven, but don't forget to salt it first. Meanwhile, we'll make the sauce for our bird. Add the chopped onion to the simmering broth and let it simmer gently over low heat. Grind the walnuts in a mortar, though you can also run them through a meat grinder. Add the garlic, salt, pepper, and all the spices listed in the recipe. Let it simmer another fifteen minutes, and at the end stir in the wine vinegar. If you don't have wine vinegar, apple cider vinegar works. Put the cut-up chicken into the sauce. This dish is served chilled, alongside mamaliga (Georgian cornmeal porridge) or white bread.
