Tschachochbili

Jews have been living in the Caucasian region of Georgia for more than 2,500 years. Even under Soviet rule, they successfully managed to preserve the life of their religious community. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, tens of thousands of Georgian Jews emigrated to Israel and the United States. They are all proud of their cuisine, which reflects Georgia’s abundance of fresh fruit, vegetables, herbs, and spices. Popular dishes include grilled meat, stuffed bread, walnut dumplings, and this rich braised chicken stew.
