About Chanakhi

Sergey Djurenko's chanakhi layers lamb, potato, eggplant, onion and tomato in a covered clay pot. The Georgian stew brings the meat and vegetables together without stirring the layers during cooking.

Svan salt, black pepper and bay season the pot. A little water starts the cooking, while the vegetables release their juices; fat-tail fat and peppers are offered as additions.

More tomato and garlic join near the end. The clay pot comes to the table, and the lamb and vegetables are spooned onto plates with chopped cilantro scattered over them.
