Kuchmachi in Georgian

A hot and satisfying appetizer for a festive feast! A hot appetizer from Georgian cuisine, hearty and aromatic due to the large number of spices. In addition, it is prepared from offal, which also adds a unique aroma to the dish. Kuchmachi is prepared from beef and lamb offal, and you can also use chicken offal. However, I like chicken much better. The appetizer is prepared very quickly and served hot; sprinkle with pomegranate seeds before serving.

Cool recipe. Very simple and quick to prepare, and cheap in price. There’s only one bad thing: in my family I’m the only one who eats offal. I’m thinking of making it one of these days, maybe I’ll make my friends try it and appreciate this masterpiece. In general, Georgian cuisine is very tasty and aromatic. It is famous for its spice combinations.

Yes, Olga, in times of crisis, Kuchmach’s recipe is really relevant. You can add pomegranate juice instead of wine when stewing the ventricles; even skeptics eat this combination. Well, if your family completely refuses offal, you can twist the kuchmach through a meat grinder and make pies with liver.

Maslova Tatyana, wow, what a delicious dish - there is pomegranate, many different seasonings. Is this how you eat a roast with gravy or does the liquid evaporate and remain as an appetizer? - to know whether to prepare a side dish for a dish or not, it’s just that in the photo it’s a little different everywhere, I don’t know how to do it. Thank you for such deliciousness, the recipe is just super!<br /><br />
