Pork stewed with plums
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. This recipe has been slightly adapted for our region, as in Georgia they prefer a very rich and pronounced taste of spicy and aromatic spices. Not everyone may enjoy such strong flavors, so we'll use familiar seasonings: salt, pepper, and nutmeg. The result is a delicious dish that can be served with various side dishes or salads. The dish is ready to be served.
