- For Sauce:
500g of walnuts
1 onion
1 egg
2 tbs of flour
some cooking oil
Also you will need following spices:
2 teaspoons of "Khmeli Suneli" (Georgian 5 spice)
2 teaspoons of ground coriander
2 teaspoons of salt and freshly ground white pepper
1 teaspoon of chili powder
Couple shakes of ground cloves
Couple shakes of freshly ground nutmeg
4 cloves of garlic
You will also need to boil 1 whole chicken (without skin) and reserve 3 cups of chicken stock.
Grind walnuts using meat grinder. When walnuts pushed through the meat grinder they will release walnut oil which is necessary for creating creamy and delirious sauce.
Your results will not be the same if you simply chop walnuts.
Add all your spices to the ground walnuts. Using garlic press, press 4 cloves of garlic. Mix well. Set aside.
Start preparing base for your sauce.
In a large pan, sauté 1 chopped onion until golden brown.
I am using walnut oil, but you can use any cooking oil. Tip: I will not recommend using olive oil, its taste is too strong and might conflict with some spices we used in this dish. Add 2 tablespoons of flour, sauté with onion. Then add 1/2 cup of chicken stock, then add more if needed to create smooth creamy base.
Add walnuts. Mix well, you will notice that your walnuts will turn white.
Add 1 cup at a time of hot chicken stock to your sauce to reach a desired consistency. This sauce cannot be too thick and not too thin, like soup. Although in Georgia, some cooks like it better on a thinner side.
Optional: add 1 raw egg directly into the hot sauce (and at this point you should reduce the heat) Mix it in very fast, so your egg does not scramble.
You need to cut your chicken into bite size pieces. And I prefer to take all the meat of the bone.
Add all the chicken to the sauce, just mix to combine and take it off the heat.
Serve in a nice bowl chilled with bread like lavash or pita.
I hope you liked this video.
I learned how to make this dish from my family’s friend Valeria when we visited her in Sukhumi, Abkhazia which was part of Georgia.
This video is for her memory.
Thank you so much for watching!

I've lived in Georgia for 4 years. This is my absolute favorite 😁
With a glass of good georgian red wine, ofcourse 👌
I❤️Georgia🇬🇪
Yess. My absolute favorite too.😋
Any thing Georgian is good ♥️. Tbilisi is where I feel well . Love you all . I wish soon corona goes away and your open up your boundaries . Love from Iran .
Lavash is not only a Georgian bread. It is Iranian as well as Armenian too. The bread you are serving in your video is not what Iranians or Armenians call lavash. Lavash in Iran and Armenia is a much thinner bread. What you are serving in this video Iranians call Taftoon. Apart from my cultural/gastronomical comment, thanks for your recipe . I love Georgian cuisine, especially satsivi.
Thanks for the recipe
Lovely. I have fond memories of eating satsivi.
Thanks for the recipe. This dish looks so good.
Zena O'Brien Thank you, one of my favorites 😊
I can see why! I love dishes like this. I like the texture of your satsivi better. It sort of reminds me of a chicken curry.
Love the recipe! We added a bit of white vinegar to this and it really lightened it up. Probably not traditional but thought it was worth sharing!
Sound good. Vinegar might add some brightness to this dish. 😋
Wonderful!! I had a favorite restaurant here that was Russian/Georgian and fell in love with this dish. Unfortunately the restaurant closed one of its two locations and they don't serve satsivi at the other one, so I just had to learn how to make it. I'm glad to learn all the authentic touches, I didn't even know about khmeli suneli. The version I had was actually green, I believe from lots of cilantro, but I'm sure I can just add that to the walnut mixture. I can't wait to try this!
I am glad you love this dish. It's very authentic and had different variations. This was was tought to me by Georgian friend of my parents. And it has become one of my favorites!😊👍
Thank you for this excellent video, and you are really a good educator. I love this dish, thanks by Irina, a friend of mine, but you have showed me how to cook it now.
You are very welcome 🤗 And thank you for a nice comment. 😍❤
I love Georgian food! So much flavor and seasoning!! But Lavash is Armenian. There are different variations but it originated from Armenia. People need to give credit to where credit is due and lay off of stealing and invalidating other cultures.
Ouch... BTW, thank you kindly for watching. 👍
Awesome 👍💓
Hahahaha gorgian Brad lavash 😅
Lavash is armenian Brad 😁
That looks soo good! I only wish I was able to eat walnuts
Rayne Oh, sorry. Can you eat sesame? I've seen this recipe done with sesame paste.
Also some places in Georgia make Hazelnut sauce
Can you cook chicken thighs in the sauce instead of adding cooked breast which is flavorless and dry?
I usually let this dish sit in the fridge overnight. This way chicken gets marinaded. Yes, you can cook it in a sauce, but sauce has to be thinner consistency.
ahmm i dont know what 5 spices are in that khmeli suneli you showed but as i know and im Georgian it is just 1 spice... ground Cilantro seed.
Nana Shvili Khmeli Suneli is a Georgian spice blend and sometimes, when homemade could contain up to 12 finely blended spices. But most common ones are: coriander,saffron, black pepper, marjoram, dill and basil. 😍
Georgian bread- Lavash???? Lavash is Armenian
Oh yes. luckily I can have seeds 😃 is it really good with sesame?
Rayne Yes, but cooking method is slightly different. You can not add hot liquid to sesame paste.
can you tell me where i can find walnut oil in Tbilisi please
What temperature should the heat be on?
Moderate: medium heat.
@@NastassjaCanCook thank you!
I don't have a meat grinder :( I want to make this dish.
You can use food processor. 😊

Moses Poses Thank you😁😂
Lavash is not georgian, it is Armenian :D
Dave Poghosyan it’s Turkish
@@narajeffus3063 close enough but nope, there are gorgeous turkish dishes and I love them, but lavash is Armenian, its not a reason to be proud or anything, but according to the history, in 405 during the war between Persia and Armenia, Lavash was the main possible food which was keeping both sides to not starve during the war cause it was easy and fast to make. that was an old tradition, and places for making it are pretty much revealed in Armenian and Persian old lands, do we use that dish equally today, yes, do we like it, yes, is it so distributed that we use it quite commonly, oh yes, and in lots of cultures in Caucasus especially, but origins are coming from a very old times. In armenia it was also a tradition to dress newborn kids with lavash by removing a small circle shape piece from the middle where the head of the child was placed, and it looked like cloak for a child which was covering him from all sides, he could eat it when he got hungry or make him warm when he was cold) I still may discuss this as a possible Iranian old cultural dish as well, as there is no dipper accuracy, but not Turkish for sure.
I adore Baklava BTW))
Beautiful recipe! When you undressed your chicken, did she complain? I mean, that is so forward of you! :) I made tkhemali suneli the other day and will make Satsivi soon. Check out my UA-cam channel and let me know if they are authentic. I appreciate you sharing your video!
Does this freeze well?
I am not sure. The sauce might separate. 🤔
Lavash is not Georgian bread. It's officially recognized as Armenian flat bread.
are you Ushuaia darling?
Gohar S of course, just like anything else, everything came from Armenia 🙄
Lavash is Armenian bread!!!
🙄
That is not right recept
Dear Anastasia, if you look in the description box, you will see , that this recipe was given to me by my mother's friend who is Georgian and that was her grandmother's recipe. I dedicated this video to her memory, because she is no longer with us😢That's why I made it the same way she used to make it. Every family in Georgia will have their own recipe.
@@NastassjaCanCook True, my mother used to make the sauce while there was chicken in it... so sauce had a different flavor.
there are so many ways to make it
