Dzveladghili Pkhali Nigvzit
Nettle Pkhali with Walnuts
Yes, keto as served. About 8g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Georgian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A unique and rustic pkhali made from blanched and finely chopped stinging nettle leaves (dzveladghili), which lose their sting when cooked. The nettle is then blended with a rich paste of ground walnuts, garlic, vinegar, and fresh herbs, offering an earthy and savory flavor profile.
Key ingredients
Fresh nettle leaves, walnuts, garlic, white wine vinegar, fresh cilantro, salt, red pepper flakes, olive oil.
Optional tweaks
Confirm no potato or other starchy binders are used in the pkhali paste. Ensure a generous amount of walnut paste and oil for optimal keto macros.
Watch out for
Adding potato as a binder (common in some pkhali variations), excessive use of high-carb vegetables, hidden sugars.
