Classic with pickled cucumbers

Classic with pickled cucumbers

The recipe won't take much time. "Harcho" has a very rich flavor thanks to the meat and spices. Sugar is needed to balance the acidity from the tomatoes. Use long-grain rice, but avoid parboiled rice as it will alter the taste. Dry adjika, hot pepper, and coriander work perfectly for cooking, and cilantro, parsley, and dill are great as fresh herbs. If you're trying any spices for the first time, be sure to add them carefully. Serve with fresh herbs and sour cream.

Harcho is made from beef or lamb; instead of chopped tomatoes, you can use tomato paste. It's best to use white polished rice or brown unpolished rice. Adjust spices and garlic to your taste. If necessary, you can add a little sugar to balance the tomato's acidity.

Harcho with smoked ribs

The soup is simple and quick to prepare. Be sure to sear the ribs—they'll develop a richer aroma. After boiling, you can remove the meat from the bones in the harcho, but I prefer leaving it on the bone. Use long-grain rice, preferably non-parboiled. Along with parsley, you can add cilantro to the harcho, and adjust the amount of spices to your taste. Ladle into bowls and serve.

with celery

with celery

A hearty first course. To prepare "Harcho" soup with celery, you'll need beef or lamb on the bone as the main ingredient—other meats would not be quite appropriate. "Harcho" translates from Georgian as "beef soup." For the classic recipe, rice is essential; in my version, celery stalk is also added, undoubtedly making this dish even more appealing. Harcho soup turns out filling, aromatic, very tasty, and spicy, thanks to ingredients such as onion, garlic, spices, khmeli-suneli, and fresh herbs. The cooking process is simple, yet the result is excellent—a perfect addition to diversify your everyday menu. Give it a try.

Select sausage to your preference—it can even be boiled. Either way, harcho will be hearty, aromatic, and very delicious. Serve the soup hot.

Pork Harcho

Pork Harcho

The recipe won't take much time. So, let's prepare our harcho, or, to make it clearer, a Georgian pork soup—I'll describe the recipe below: Rinse the pork and cut it into 3 cm cubes. Place in a pot, pour in cold water, and cook for 1.5 hours, skimming off the foam occasionally. While the pork is cooking, sauté the finely chopped onion with flour in oil until golden. Remove the pork from the broth. Strain the broth and pour it back into the pot. Add salt, rinsed rice, and the cooked pork. Bring to a boil, then add the sautéed onion with flour, grated parsley root, coriander, bay leaf, and crushed black peppercorns. Cook for 15 minutes. Add chopped walnuts to the soup and cook for another 5 minutes. Add tkemali, chopped parsley, khmeli-suneli, saffron, ground red pepper, and salt. Cook for 5 minutes, then turn off the heat. Add chopped celery (or basil) and cilantro. Mix in pressed garlic, cover with a lid, and let the soup stand for 5 minutes. The soup is ready to serve.

The recipe won't take much time. Like any other national dish, "Harcho" has many variations. This version comes from the western part of the country. Its distinctive feature is the walnut paste, which makes the soup quite thick, even though the recipe contains no rice. Definitely worth trying at least once.
