Satsivi

Satsivi is a celebratory dish from the country of Georgia, a jewel of Caucasian cuisine. It is a unique and elegant dish consisting of tender poached chicken or turkey served cold in a rich, creamy, and fragrant walnut sauce. The sauce is the star of the show, made from finely ground walnuts, garlic, and a blend of traditional Georgian spices like blue fenugreek and coriander, which give it its distinctive flavor. The name "Satsivi" literally means "cold dish" in Georgian, and it is often prepared a day in advance for holidays and special occasions, as its flavor deepens as it chills. It’s a dish that is both familiar in its creaminess and excitingly new in its flavor profile.
