What it is
A classic Georgian dish featuring boiled chicken served cold in a rich, velvety, and aromatic sauce made from finely ground walnuts, garlic, saffron, and other spices.
Key ingredients
Chicken (often dark meat), walnuts, garlic, chicken broth, vinegar, spices (saffron, blue fenugreek, ground coriander), salt, cooking oil (a little for richness).
Optional tweaks
Ensure no flour or starch is used as a thickener in the sauce (not traditional but a restaurant shortcut risk). Verify no added sugar in the sauce.
Say this to the waiter (Georgian)
დარწმუნდით, რომ საცივის სოუსში ფქვილი ან სახამებელი არ არის გამოყენებული გასასქელებლად, და შაქარიც არ აქვს დამატებული.
Please ensure no flour or starch is used as a thickener, and no added sugar in the Satsivi sauce.
Watch out for
Hidden flour/starch thickeners, hidden sugar in sauce.
