Georgia is known for its rich and diverse culinary traditions. Here are some famous local dishes that you must try when visiting Georgia:

1. Khachapuri: This is a traditional Georgian cheese bread that is a staple in the country. It is made with a soft and fluffy dough filled with a mixture of melted cheese, eggs, and butter. There are different regional variations of khachapuri, such as Imeretian, Adjarian, and Megrelian, each with its own unique twist.

2. Khinkali: These are Georgian dumplings filled with various ingredients like meat, cheese, mushrooms, or potatoes. Khinkali are typically boiled and served hot, and the proper way to eat them is to hold the dumpling by its twisted top, take a small bite, and then slurp out the delicious broth before enjoying the rest.

3. Satsivi: This is a traditional Georgian dish made with chicken or turkey in a rich walnut sauce. The sauce is flavored with garlic, spices, and herbs, giving it a unique and nutty taste. Satsivi is usually served cold or at room temperature and is often enjoyed during special occasions and holidays.

4. Mtsvadi: Also known as Georgian shashlik, mtsvadi is a popular grilled meat dish. It is typically made with chunks of marinated pork, beef, or lamb, skewered and cooked over an open fire. The meat is usually seasoned with salt, pepper, and onions, resulting in a flavorful and juicy kebab.

5. Lobio: This is a traditional Georgian bean dish made with kidney beans, onions, garlic, and various herbs and spices. Lobio can be served hot or cold and is often enjoyed with a side of cornbread (mchadi) or bread (shotis puri). There are different regional variations of lobio, such as khevsuruli, ajapsandali, and lobiani.

6. Churchkhela: This is a unique Georgian sweet treat made by dipping a string of nuts (usually walnuts or hazelnuts) into a thickened grape juice or fruit puree mixture. The dipped nuts are then left to dry, resulting in a chewy and fruity candy-like snack. Churchkhela is often enjoyed during the winter months and is a popular souvenir to bring back home.

These are just a few examples of the delicious and unique Georgian cuisine. Make sure to explore the local markets and restaurants to discover even more mouthwatering dishes during your visit to Georgia!

Among the many riffs on Ratatouille served throughout Europe ,West Georgian Ajapsandali stands out

On the one hand, it is unforgivably spicy, garlic adjika plays with the central part. And unlike their Mediterranean counterparts, in which vegetables turn too often into porridge, ajapsandali is an oven-baked mixture of hard eggplant and crispy bell peppers, slightly interwoven at the last minute with fresh tomato puree and animated with a touch of chopped cilantro. Although usually served in the last months of summer, when tomatoes and eggplants are plentiful, the ajapsandali's warming and sinus properties also make it an optimal winter rate.

Ingredients: 6 medium eggplant 4 medium sweet peppers 2 medium carrots 5 medium onions 1 kg ripe fleshy tomatoes 1 head young garlic 1 medium bunch of parsley 1 medium bunch of cilantro 3-4 sprigs of purple basil 0.5 tsp. ground coriander, uzo-suneli and imeretinsky saffron vegetable oil salt, freshly ground black pepper cooking time - 2 hours Step 1 Cut the eggplant into cubes with a side of 1.5 cm. Pour salt, fill with cold water for 1 hour. Then drain the water and squeeze out the excess moisture. Step 2 Heat a frying pan with high sides, fry the eggplants in oil in portions until cooked. Spread the finished eggplant on crumpled paper towels. Step 3 Cut the onion into small cubes. Grate the carrots on a coarse grater, cut the sweet pepper into strips. In the same pan, fry the onion in oil until golden brown, 10 min. Add carrots and pepper, fry everything together over low heat, stirring for 10 minutes. Step 4 Scald tomatoes with boiling water, dip in cold water, remove the skin, chop. Step 5 Finely chop the garlic and cilantro, put in a mortar, salt and crush into gruel. Put the resulting mixture into mashed tomatoes and mix. Step 6 Mix all the fried vegetables, pour the tomato mixture and put on a small fire. Finely chop the basil and parsley, put in a pan. Salt, pepper, add spices, then darken everything together for another 10 minutes. Turn off the heat and cool for at least 30 minutes.

Bon Appetit!

Georgia is a stunning country to travel to and the vegan food is abundant, fresh and delicious. When you find your way around the meat and cheese, you discover a whole world of beans, veggies, bread, potatoes and mushrooms.

One of the reasons Georgian food is so vegan-friendly is because of the Orthodox fasting periods, that many adopt, where they can’t have any food from land animals. You will find that many restaurants have a ‘fasting menu’.

Many local Georgian dishes just happen to be vegan, making our life easier while travelling. In Tbilisi, you have some choices of restaurants and cafes serving specifically vegan food, but outside the capital, the reality is different.

I assure you will not have any problems to eat vegan even when visiting small villages.

Here is a list of some of my favourite vegan dishes that you can get from a regular place in Georgia serving local food.

Vegan-friendly Georgian food

Veggie pâtés

Pkhali – different coloured balls of vegetables minced with walnuts and seasonings, normally with garlic, onion, herbs. The most common are spinach, aubergine and beet.

Eggplant with walnuts (Nigvziani Badrijani) – Slices of eggplant that filled with walnuts, coriander and garlic, served cold topped with pomegranates.

Red pepper stuffed with walnuts – as the name says is a red pepper filled with hearty walnut paste.

Beans and bread

Lobio – It’s a bean stew served in a clay pot, made with red beans, onion, garlic, herbs, and local seasonings. Mchadi – cornbread that is usually eaten with Lobio. Comes in fried and non-fried varieties.

Acharuli, Stew boats – a boat-shaped bread from Georgia, is the most popular filling melted salty cheese and egg. Although I found other options, from aubergine stew, wild mushrooms, spinach and other greens and even with tomato and cucumber salad.

Georgian Pastries: Lobiani – Is a mashed bean-filled bread easily found everywhere. Similar to lobiani is the Mkhvlovani- made with a mixture of different kinds of herbs. I did find other pastries that were vegan but could memorise the names.

Georgian traditional dumplings

Khinkali – The easiest vegan ones to find are the ones with potato and mushroom fillings, but I also had found some with beans and spinach.

Mushrooms

There are several dishes with mushrooms served in clay dishes.

They also have mushrooms cooked in different ways. Wild mushrooms stewed, fried mushrooms, grilled mushrooms, etc.. If you are a mushrooms lover like me Georgia is heaven on earth. Ojakhuri with mushrooms – instead of the traditional potatoes with pork, this one is with mushrooms.

Shilaplavi – Kind of a Georgian risotto with mushrooms.

Vegetable stews

Ajapsandali – is a vegetable stew made with onion, potato, aubergine, bell pepper, tomato, parsley and other seasonings, a little bit like a ratatouille.

Salads

The most common one is Cucumber and Tomato Salad with a creamy walnut and herb sauce, but there are various other kinds of salads too. The Georgian beetroot salad with tkemali (plum sauce) is also quite easy to find.

Mexican potatoes – Thickly cut potatoes with lots of seasoning. They can be fried or baked depending on the restaurant.

Pickles – you can order mixed pickles or plates of specific pickles.

Vegan Georgian Sweets

Churchkhela – also known as the Georgian Snickers is a traditional sweet made from nuts and fruit juice. It is extremely delicious, nutritious, healthy and energizing. To prepare it the string of nuts is repeatedly dipped in concentrated fresh fruit juice.

Tklapi – Thin fruit sheet.

Pelamushi – reminds a frozen pudding prepared with grape juice and walnuts.

Markets

There is no best place to explore Georgian food culture than visiting some of their markets.

Here you can find the best deals to buy fresh fruits and vegetables, nuts, dried fruit and grains, coffee and tea, spices and much more.

Georgian Street food

Street food is not a strong concept in Georgia by any means, but you can occasionally find small stall selling, fresh fruit, fresh cold-pressed juice and Turkish coffee.

Have you been to Georgia and tried any of these dishes? Do you know any other traditional Georgian dish that is accidentally vegan?

Travelling vegan in Georgia Georgia is a stunning country to travel to and the vegan food is abundant, fresh and delicious.

thank you @lewdo for the tag <333

my favorite color: green (almost any shade of green but especially sage green and olive green). also i like grey and off white colors

last film i watched: i believe it was don’t look up (2021)

the book i’m currently reading: rereading franny and zooey by salinger in english to find out if i’m good enough to read something apart from fanfiction

last series i watched: i watched dash & lily and i would definitely recommend it to anyone who’s into binge watching wholesome romantic comedies with a little drama that take place in new york city

sweet, savory or spicy food? i’ve a sweet tooth but spicy food is top tier! pasta arrabiata, ajapsandali, vegan curry, ma po tofu are just the nicest things ever

something i’m currently working on: working on staying sane while going through my quarter life crisis. but if i’m being serious i’d say figuring out my career path

tagging anyone who wants to do it!
