Khachapuri Adjarian (Georgian Cheese Bread Boat)
Georgia's most iconic dish — a boat-shaped bread filled with bubbling melted sulguni cheese, topped with a raw egg and a knob of butter. Broken into strips and dipped.
Хачапури, хинкали, сациви — вино, грецкие орехи и застольная традиция Кавказа.
Грузинская кухня родом из кавказского перекрестка между Черным морем и Шелковым путем и организована вокруг супры — ритуального пира под руководством тамады (тамады), во время которого стол заполняется от края до края. Наиболее экспортируемыми блюдами являются хачапури, хлеб с сырной начинкой, аджарская версия которого прибывает в открытой лодке с сырым яйцом и маслом, размешанными на столе, и хинкали, скрученные суповые клецки из пряного мяса, которые едят вручную, сначала бульон, а на тарелке оставляют пучок волос.
Вкусовая характеристика уникальна для региона: грецкие орехи, перемолотые в соусы (сациви для птицы, баже и спреды, закатанные в баклажаны, нигвзиани бадрижани), кислый сливовый соус ткемали и смесь специй хмели-сунели на основе голубого пажитника (уцхо-сунели), сушеных бархатцев и кориандра. Западная Грузия — Самегрело и Имерети — опирается на кукурузу (каша гоми, хлеб мчади) и более острую пасту аджика-чили; Восток предпочитает пшеничный хлеб и мясо из глиняной печи.
Грузия также заявляет, что виноделие в закопанных глиняных сосудах из квеври уже восемь тысяч лет – метод, внесенный в список ЮНЕСКО, а вино неотделимо от культуры питания. Тушеные блюда типа чахохбили (курица с помидорами и зеленью) домашние повара дополняют горстями свежего кориандра, эстрагона и пурпурного базилика, а консервируют урожай в виде чурчхелы — грецких орехов, смоченных в загустевшем виноградном соке, — и баночек с аджикой и ткемали.
Хачапури
Хлеб с сырной начинкой региональных форм — круглый Имерули, двойной сыр Мегрули и аджарская лодочка с яичной верхушкой.
Хинкали
Скрученные вручную пельмени с перченым мясом и бульоном, которые едят вручную, оставив на тарелке тестообразный пучок.
Ореховые соусы
Молотые грецкие орехи делают роллы из баклажанов сациви, баже и бадрижани более густыми, придавая грузинской кухне особую насыщенную танинную глубину.
Хмели-сунели и синий пажитник
Определяющая смесь специй из голубого пажитника, сушеных бархатцев и кориандра приправляет тушеные блюда, соусы и аджику.
Ткемали и аджика
Кислый сливовый соус и ферментированная чили-чесночная паста — две столовые приправы, которые придают остроту мясу, бобам и картофелю.
Супра и вино квеври
Застолье под руководством тамады и восьмитысячелетнее виноделие в глиняных сосудах показывают, как на самом деле едят грузинскую еду.

Грузинская кухня известна сырным хлебом хачапури, пельменями для супа хинкали, соусами на основе грецких орехов, такими как сациви, ткемали из кислой сливы, а также тушеными блюдами с травами, такими как чахохбили. Он также известен традицией супра-празднества под руководством тамады и виноделием квеври, восьмитысячелетним методом изготовления глиняных сосудов, признанным ЮНЕСКО.
Возьмите пельмени за рыхлый узел пальцами, а не вилкой, иначе прольется бульон. Прокусите небольшую дырочку в боку, выпейте горячий бульон, затем съешьте остальное, приправив черным перцем. Толстый пучок остается на тарелке; традиционно он служит для подсчета того, сколько вы съели. Столовые приборы считаются ошибкой новичка.
В основном нет, за одним региональным исключением. Восточно-грузинская кухня ароматна — синий пажитник, кориандр, бархатцы, свежий эстрагон и базилик — с небольшим количеством тепла. В западных регионах, таких как Самегрело, используют аджику — ферментированную красную чили-чесночную пасту, и блюда там могут быть по-настоящему острыми. На большинстве столов в качестве приправы используют острую пищу: аджику и ткемали кладут рядом с едой, а не внутри нее.
Имерули-хачапури — самое щадящее начало: мягкое тесто на основе йогурта, наполненное смесью соленых сыров (моцарелла плюс фета примерно соответствует имеретинскому сыру) и запеченное на сковороде. Чахохбили — курица, тушеная с помидорами, луком и добавлением кориандра и базилика — самое простое рагу. Лобио, тушеная фасоль с грецкими орехами и зеленью, является отличным вегетарианским вариантом.
Хачапури — грузинский хлеб с сырной начинкой, традиционно приготовленный из рассольного имеретинского сыра или сулугуни. Имерули — закрытый круглый сыр с сыром внутри; Мегрули кладет сверху второй слой сыра; Аджарули (по-аджарски) — это открытая лодочка, в которую добавляют сырой яичный желток и сливочное масло, которые смешивают с расплавленным сыром на столе и едят, отрывая корку и обмакивая.
