Mtsvadi

(მწვადი)

Mtsvadi is a traditional dish consisting of a skewered shish kebab. Pork, mutton, or veal is typically marinated in a mixture of lemon juice, pomegranate juice, tarragon, salt, pepper, and chopped onions, so that it remains tender and juicy when grilled.


Mtsvadi is often prepared outdoors over an open fire. It is recommended to serve the dish with tkemali plum sauce, raw onion rings, sliced tomatoes, and pomegranate seeds.
