About Chirbuli
Georgian Recipes describes traditional Ajarian chirbuli as separately poached eggs served beneath a tomato-and-walnut sauce. Onion and butter form the sauce’s base, with cornflour helping bring the mixture together.
Walnuts, garlic, dried coriander and red pepper season the tomatoes. Fresh coriander, dill and basil add a second layer of herbal flavour near the end.
The sauce covers the poached eggs when the dish is served. This Ajarian breakfast is presented hot, combining tender egg with the textured walnut-and-tomato mixture.
