Borani with green beans
Description
Traditionally, borani is not exactly a dish but rather a cooking method where chicken, meat, or other ingredients are layered between vegetables, herbs, or even grains. In Caucasian cuisine, borani with green beans is commonly made at home, using spiced chicken as the "filling." By the way, to get nicely browned chicken, brush it with homemade sour cream while frying. Good luck!
