Khashlama

Georgian khashlama is a traditional meat dish originating from the Caucasus region. Large chunks of meat, usually beef, veal, or lamb are boiled in hot water. The traditional version of this famous dish does not include other ingredients, except a few spices. Because of this, khashlama includes only the finest meat cuts available. The origins of the dish believe to be in the Georgian Kakheti region, where it is regarded as a regional trade-in-stock. Traditionally, Georgian khashlama is prepared on an open fire, slowly, until the meat is perfectly tender. It is commonly spiced with onions, garlic, bay leaves, and peppercorns. Because it is rather time-consuming, it is usually served on special occasions, and it is a common dish during “supra”, traditional Georgian feast.
