🇬🇪☀🏔🥙👍😋Lobiani - traditional Georgian boiled bean pies

🗺 Lobiani - Georgian cakes stuffed with boiled beans. Like khachapuri, they can be prepared on a different test, most often on yogurt or yogurt. Perhaps the main advantage of the dish is its satiety: just one cake is enough to completely satisfy the hunger. 👉Ingredients: ➖ Dry beans 1,5 tbsp. ➖ Onion 1 pc. ➖ Vegetable oil 2-3 tbsp. l ➖Suneli hops 0.5 tsp ➖ Salt to taste ➖ Black ground pepper 2 chips. ➖ Cilantro 10 g 👉For Test: ➖ Flour 500-600 g ➖ Water 300 ml ➖ Fast dry yeast 1 tsp. ➖Salt 0.5 tsp ➖Sahar 1 tsp ➖ Vegetable oil 4 tbsp.l. Step1️⃣ Soak the beans in cold water and leave to swell for 10-12 hours. Rinse and Pour with fresh water so that it covers the beans for 2-3 centimeters. Cook until cooked for about 1 hour (or more, depending on the variety). Add cold water as you boil. Salt at the very end! Ready beans should be soft, easy to rub with your fingers. Step 2️⃣ Dice the onion and fry in vegetable oil until golden brown. Paste warm beans with onions and a small amount of broth (1-2 tablespoons) in a blender until smooth. You can shred the pestle or scroll in a meat grinder. Step 3️⃣ Put suneli hops (savory, thyme are also suitable) and a little black pepper. Add finely chopped cilantro, punch again with a blender or just mix. The filling should turn out plastic and soft. If the consistency is dry, then you need to add fat - lard, melted butter or vegetable oil. Pour in 1 spoon, stirring until smooth. Step 4️⃣. For the yeast dough on lobiani, pour oil into a bowl of warm water (30-35 degrees), add salt, sugar and dry yeast. Stir well. Cool completely. Step 5️⃣ Pour the sifted flour gradually, knead the dough. The consistency should not be too dense, not stiff, but also not very soft, not spreading. Form a ball, cover with a towel, leave in a warm place without drafts for 30 minutes, then knead and hold for another 20 minutes. Step 6️⃣ Divide the dough into 6 parts. Step 7️⃣ Roll to a diameter of about 20 cm. Spread bean puree on the dough - the amount of filling should be equal to the amount of dough, then the lobiani will be delicious. Step 8️⃣ Gently tighten the edges of the dough and pinch them so that the filling is inside. You get a kind of bag of dough with a filling inside. Step 9️⃣ Turn pinch down. Flatten with your hands (you can neatly roll out with a rolling pin, but with your hands it is more convenient) into a cake no thicker than 1 cm, diameter 20-23 cm. Step 🔟 Fry the cakes until golden brown for about 2 minutes on each side, over medium heat, without lid. Turn over with a spatula. ℹ️ In the original recipe, it is proposed to cook in a very hot dry frying pan and at the end grease the finished product with a piece of butter, you can directly in the pan. For a lean table, it is enough to pour a little vegetable oil into the pan, then you do not need to grease it from above. ✅ Ready-made lobians are best served warm. They are very tasty, soft, satisfying. Can be added with light sauce. Bon appetit❗️

Georgian barbecue, called mtsvadi -one of the most popular and common dishes

For Georgians, it is important that in the preparation of barbecue everything worked for its taste and aroma. Even firewood. For example, it turns out to be extremely tasty on coals from a grapevine . For coals use old branches. The grapevine gives a strong fever and gives the meat a pleasant aroma not characteristic of other barbecue.

Step 1 Cut the breast for in equal pieces (each should have a rib and a little fat). Step 2 Make a marinade for a shish barbecue of wine vinegar, onion, sliced ​​in half rings, salt and black pepper, fold the meat tightly into the marinade and cover. Leave for 1-6 hours. Step 3 Take skewers wide and flat so that the meat does not turn over when frying. String the kebab meat so that it goes along the skewer, not hanging from it. Step 4 Light the coals in the grill - they should turn into white ash. Put the skewers at a distance of 10-15 cm from the coals and fry, not forgetting to turn them often. For a complete frying of barbecue, 15 minutes are quite enough (then it will begin to char). Step 5 In a large bowl, chop the remaining onion coarsely, break the cake into portions. Step 6 Take a piece of tortilla and remove with it hot barbecue from skewers, sprinkling with onions - it absorbs the taste of meat, slightly “fries” and becomes a separate snack. Try to ensure that the pieces of Georgian barbecue on each skewer are the same size and similar quality: then they will cook evenly inside and out. Instead of red wine vinegar in a marinade for Georgian barbecue meat, you can use good pomegranate juice or dry red wine in the same amount. Bon Appetit!

🇬🇪☀🏔🥟🍷🍱😊Khinkali is a visiting card of Georgian cuisine!

There is a myth that the more folds in the khinkali, the more skillfully it is cooked. In an ideal khinkali, the folds should be 20. However, the taste does not depend on the folds: it is more important to make the dough of such a thickness so that the khinkali remain thin, but keep their shape and filling.

Ingredients: - beef - 300 g pork - 300 g onions - 200 g - garlic - 2 tooth. ground thyme - 1 chips. Dried Zira - 1 chips. - hops-suneli - 0.5 tsp. Salt - 1 tsp incomplete - black ground pepper - 0.5 tsp. Kinza - 1 beam. warm water - 100 ml

Method of preparation: 1. The meat cleared from veins is turned into forcemeat - a brisket or a back of a young individual. Add lard, finely chopped onions and garlic. At the end, the water intervenes - as much as the minced meat can absorb, without being divided into meat and water fractions. About a pound of meat - about 150 ml. To taste, you can add salt, cumin, hot pepper (you can cook yourself) and cilantro.

2. Knead the dough from flour, salt and 150 ml of water - sufficiently dense and tight. The dough can be stored in a cool place for no more than an hour, then it begins to rapidly lose its noble qualities.

Collapse

3. The success of future khinkali depends on the number of layers in the test: ideally, there should be about twenty of them. To do this, roll out the dough with a rolling pin in a centimeter layer and cut it into 4x4 cm squares. Each piece needs to be rolled out and folded, sprinkling flour every time, again and again - at least 10 times. The result should be 3 mm thick puff sheets.

4. Stuffing is prepared in advance, because as soon as the sheets of dough are ready, you need to wrap the meat in them immediately so that the dough does not dry. In the middle of each sheet put a small ladle of minced meat, about 40 grams. If the minced water has managed to emerge on the minced meat, before spreading it on the dough, you need to mix it well again until smooth

5. The edges of the sheet are folded accordion as densely as possible. In an ideal khinkali, nineteen folds. Take the fortified bag in one hand and twist the other in the same direction as the folds were made and tear off the excess dough - the khinkali will have a dense stump on top. Put the khinkali on the board so that it forms a flat bottom, which then will be convenient to bite.

6. With a spatula, untwist boiling water in a spacious pan, salt, throw a dozen khinkali and again make a whirlpool in the pan. The point is that the khinkali should not squeeze or stick to each other or to the bottom. Cook until the khinkali floats up belly. Plus another two or three minutes, just about ten minutes. Take out carefully - slotted spoon.

7. The catch is laid out on the dish. As a rule, a quantity that is a multiple of ten is cooked, each subsequent portion is prepared anew. The final gesture before the start of the meal is the sprinkling of still wet, smoking khinkali with freshly ground black pepper, which immediately releases the right spirit from them. They start eating immediately.

8. Khinkali is eaten with hands: a fork will pierce the dough - and the broth, the very khinkali juice, will spill onto a plate. You need to take the tail with your hand, the second - hold the ribs; bite the side on top and suck the broth. Then eat, biting the dough and meat in equal proportions, so that a piece of meat is constantly resting in a boat of dough. According to the tails, they will count at the end the number of pieces eaten.

The taste of khinkali is very dependent on the quality of the water in the minced meat. Therefore, it is better to use good mineral water.

Bon Appetit!

Ingredients for the filling: Imereti cheese - 1 kg drinking water - 150 ml eggs - 8-10 pcs.

Then roll the edges on both sides towards the center, fasten and pinch the ends. Spread apart to get "boats". Step 7 Fill the resulting “boats” with the cheese stuffing prepared earlier and place on a baking sheet lined with baking paper.
