Georgian Food. My First Sight.

Recently I had the opportunity to try a different food, from a different place. Food from the Ex-Soviet Republic of Georgia.

Georgian food is particular. is very rich but with strong influence from Russian, Turkish and other foods from Caucasian mountains.

I visited already twice the restaurant called Suliko. You can check more in the web page http://suliko.ca/en/

One of the first dishes I tasted was "Chanakhi". A traditional Georgian dish with lamb stew, it has also tomatoes and potatoes.

The dish behind the Chanakhi is cabbage pickles marinated with beetroot.

Georgian food uses meat. The options are beef, chicken, lamb and pork.

Khinkali is a Georgian Dumpling. Can be filled with meat, cheese, potatoes or mushrooms. I had a mixed of Khinkalis filled with different kinds of meat.

The following picture has a mixed of foods:

 
The Dish behind is Khachapuri. Is a traditional cheese filled Bread, There are other options filled with Meat or spinach. The food in front is "Lula Kebab" made with lamb.

To finish this first experience I had Georgian Wine.

Georgian food is much more complex than what I exposed here. So for sure there are more tasting opportunities yet to come and it is very possible I will post at least one more time about the food of this part of the world.
