Georgian cuisine has been around for centuries and is increasingly becoming more popular as people discover its hidden gems. One of the most underrated cuisines in the world, it’s a mix of European and Asian flavors that will leave you wanting more. These dishes are some of the most popular in Georgian cuisine: khinkali (dumplings), khachapuri (cheese bread), pkhali (vegetables) and lobio (bean soup).
Khinkali are dumplings with a broth inside that are meant to be eaten by hands. Three most popular fillings include meat, cheese or mushroom.
How to eat Khinkali
When eating Khinkali, make sure to hold the dumpling by the top knot and take a small nibble off the top. Bite a hole in the dumpling and sip the broth before eating the rest of it.
Khachapuri, or the boat shipped cheese bread is the most popular in Adjara region, close to the Black Sea. Its shape makes it and experience eating it.
How to eat Khachapuri
Khachapuri can be eaten as a meal or enjoyed with friends, but you should always eat the boat-shaped bread first because that’s what holds all of the cheese and runny eggs inside. Break off a piece and enjoy!
Pkhali is a type of Georgian salad made from several different vegetables like eggplant, spinach, beans and walnuts. It often has cooked grape leaves mixed in for added flavor. The dish itself isn’t exactly appetising looking — pkhali looks more like mush than anything else — but tastes great when combined with Georgian spices such as garlic, coriander seeds and walnuts. It’s typically eaten as an appetiser before the main course.
