Tomato Sauce Satsabeli
Sauces and Marinades • Georgian
Description
In translation from Georgian, satsabeli simply means sauce, any sauce, without details or explanations. It's no coincidence that the recipe for this main Caucasian condiment for kebabs is so variable. Originally, it was fruit and berry-based, with tart juices like pomegranate or blackberry. However, the most common version of satsabeli today is tomato-based, which includes sweet and hot peppers along with herbs. Yet, herbs are not added: John Smith, a chef at a popular American restaurant, who shared with us his recipe for traditional satsabeli, believes that this would violate the traditional canons.
