Satsivi sauce

Cookinero 8 Mar 2025

Satsivi sauce may contain various spices, herbs, lemon juice or wine vinegar, but in the classic version one thing will remain constant: a large amount of walnuts. The sauce owes its pleasant nutty flavor to them. This legendary Georgian sauce has about a dozen and a half varieties, but the cooking principle and main ingredients are usually constant. If you serve satsivi with chicken, duck or turkey, the dish will become hundreds of times tastier!
