Since I didn’t have all the ingredients for cooking, I was only able to touch a little on the national Georgian cuisine. But I really wanted to prepare a delicious first recipe for real original Georgian kharcho soup. Having adapted the recipe for myself, I took the meat from the refrigerator; for me it was pork. I cut it into pieces and sent it to boil in boiling water along with onions, carrots and peppercorns. While the meat was cooking, I fried chopped onions in a frying pan with the addition of ground coriander and suneli hops. A little later, I added tomato paste and a little broth to the onions, and simmered the roast under the lid for 7 minutes. As soon as the meat was ready, I removed the onions and carrots from the pan, which had done their job. Then I added washed rice to the soup and cooked it for 10 minutes. Lastly, I added the roast, bay leaf and salt, and cooked the soup for a couple more minutes. I did not add tkemali sauce, adjika, dried herbs, or walnuts. The soup turned out to be appetizing, aromatic, and satisfying. They ate it with pleasure. Thank you so much for the recipe!
