Chakhokhbili, as it should be
No, I in no case do not claim the authenticity of the recipe. Moreover, on the website 30 recipes chakhokhbili. But it's interesting, this is not!!! What is the chakhokhbili? Chakhokhbili - a stew of poultry, national Georgian dish. Originally made with pheasant (for cargo. of jojoba), but at present, of any poultry, especially domestic chicken. The dish is prepared from pieces of poultry stewed in tomato sauce with spices and garlic. A characteristic feature of the chakhokhbili is a preliminary (to extinguish) the so-called dry roasting the birds for 15 minutes without adding any fat. Sometimes when cooking this dish, water is not added, the moisture in the dish use only vegetables, mainly onions. It's a classic! The rest is the interpretation of cooks. Here we propose an interpretation of the chef. But as it turned delicious!!!
