Chakapuli
Georgian lamb stew with tarragon, sour green plums and white wine.

About Chakapuli
Georgian Recipes presents chakapuli as a popular spring stew made when green plums are still sour. This version selects lamb, with wild sour plums, tarragon, green onions, coriander, green peppers and garlic.
The unripe plums bring sourness around the lamb and herbs. Tarragon provides a strong aromatic presence, with white wine forming part of the cooking liquid.
Lamb pieces share the stew with chopped greens and whole plums. The source serves this version hot with Georgian bread, keeping the bread as a separate accompaniment.
