Cooking and eating is a great way to get to know different food cultures and national cuisines. If you're looking for a new idea for a quick and easy meal, then this Chicken Satsivi, a Georgian culinary gem, is definitely something you must try.
Satsivi aka Chicken in Spiced Walnut Sauce is generally characterised by its delicious sauce, whose main ingredient is walnuts. Together with garlic and some spices, they create a wonderfully creamy and aromatic sauce, in which the chicken (breast or thigh) cooks until tedner to absorb the flavour of the sauce. It's a perfectly healthy comfort food that will make you warm and cozy on cold winter evenings. If you want to use a whole chicken, then it's better to precook and cut the chicken before infusing them with the sauce.

- To prepare the sauce, roughly chop the walnuts in a food processor. Peel and roughly chop the garlic. Add to the chopped walnuts together with spices. Add 1/3 of the chicken broth and vinegar to make a smooth sauce.
- Heat the remaining chicken broth in a pan over a medium heat. Pour in the walnut cream as soon as the broth starts to heat up. Bring to a boil and add the chicken thighs to the pan and nestle them into the sauce. Cook for 25-30 minutes in the simmering sauce until cooked through, stirring occasionally.
- Taste and season with salt and pepper. Garnish with chopped parsley, pomegranate seeds and chopped walnuts.
I also did some breading today, but I breaded some smoked tofu slices in smashed buckwheat crackers and sesame.
ReplyDeleteYou are right how trying foods lets you learn about a culture. This looks yummy. I'm kind of in a food slump lately, tired of the old things and ready for something new. This sounds great.

Culture and food really are intertwined. One of the joys of travel is to try new food.
ReplyDeleteSounds delicious, and it's so pretty too! I love walnut sauces so I bet this would really appeal to me. And I happen to have a chicken in the fridge waiting to be cooked...
ReplyDeleteI would try it too, looks great.
ReplyDeleteI would definitely try this with shallots and walnuts — it sounds fantastic, Angie. I also like exploring different cuisines and cultures! David (C&L)

Chicken Satsivi sounds like a fantastic dish to dive into Georgian cuisine! The rich, creamy walnut sauce packed with spices like turmeric, cinnamon, and cayenne pepper must make the chicken incredibly flavorful and comforting.
