Plum tkemali
Description
A delicious addition to everyday and festive dishes. The famous Georgian sauce tkemali is a tasty complement to any meat. The recipe for making tkemali from plums is extremely simple, and ingredient proportions can be adjusted to your taste—adding more or less herbs, increasing or reducing the amount of pepper and garlic. You can start making tkemali even when the plums are still completely green. This version turns out tangy and sour with a green color. Here I offer you a recipe for preparing tkemali specifically from green plums—the kind my husband loves the most.
