Chanakhi (Georgian: ჩანახი) is a traditional Georgian[1][2][3][4][5] dish of lamb stew with tomatoes, aubergines, potatoes, greens, and garlic.

Preparation

[edit]

Chanakhi is preferably prepared in individual clay pots and served with bread and cheese. The lamb is placed in the pot with the already-melted butter. Onions, eggplants, potatoes, chopped greens, and tomatoes are added in separate layers. After pouring the water, the dish is cooked slowly in the oven for 4.5-5 hours.[3]
