    BARBECUED PORK WITH POMEGRANATE JUICE AND AJIKA

    Barbecued meat is very popular in Georgia both as a family meal and also at feasts and celebrations. Pork is the most popular meat, followed by chicken. In this recipe I show how to prepare a pomegranate juice and ajika marinade for barbecued pork. Ajika (Georgian: აჯიკა) is a hot, spicy paste used to flavor meat and fish dishes mainly in Samegrelo and Abkhazia. It is made with hot red peppers, garlic, herbs and spices.

    Ingredients: 1.2 kilos of pork, 1 white onion, 1 red onion, 5 tbs of vinegar, 1 medium sized pomegranate, 2 bay leaves, 1 tbs of ajika (see recipe here), and salt (amount dependent upon personal preference).

    Preparation: Cut the meat into cubes and add to a bowl. Slice and add 1 white onion. Add 1 tbs of ajika, 5 tbs of vinegar, half the juice from one pomegranate, 2 bay leaves, and salt.

    Mix the ingredients. Cover the bowl and refrigerate overnight (for at least 4 hours). When ready to barbecue, remove the marinated pork from the refrigerator and thread the individual pieces onto skewers (Georgian: შამფური). Sprinkle the meat on all sides with coarse salt.

    Make sure the barbecue is not too hot. The softened, marinated meat will cook quite quickly and the skewers will need to be turned frequently to ensure the meat cooks evenly.

    In Georgia, a piece of bread (shotis puri) is used to remove the meat from the skewers. The bread absorbs some of the meat juices and is eaten with the meat.

    Slice the onion and remove the seeds from the pomegranate.

    Enjoy your barbecued Pork with Pomegranate Juice and Ajika!

    MEGRULI KHACHAPURI

    Khachapuri is a filled bread stuffed with melting cheese. It is justifiably considered to be one of Georgia’s most famous national dishes. I will show how to make Megruli Khachapuri (Georgian: მეგრული ხაჭაპური) from Samegrelo region, a circular khachapuri with cheese added on top.

    Ingredients: 200 grams of khachapuri dough and up to 100 grams of flour.  2 eggs, 70 grams of butter and 200 grams of Sulguni cheese (you can use mozzarella cheese).

    Prepare the dough.
     Grate the cheese and divide into two parts of 150 grams and 50 grams. Add 150 grams of grated cheese, one egg and 50 grams of butter to a mixing bowl. Mix the ingredients with a fork. Separate one egg yolk and stir in a dish. This will be used later to glaze the khachapuri. 
     
    Knead the dough before using. Leave for 10 minutes and then make a flattish circular shape, creating a lip around the edge. Add the cheese filling to the center of the dough.
    Hold up the edges to seal the cheese inside the dough.

    Carefully flatten the filled dough with the palms and fingers of your hand. Add the remaining grated cheese to the dough. Glaze the outer edge of the dough with the egg yolk prepared earlier. This will add a golden brown color.

    Lightly dust a baking tray with flour (to stop the khachapuri sticking) and put the khachapuri in a pre-heated hot oven for about 15 minutes.

    When it is ready, remove it from the oven and rub the remaining 20 grams of butter onto the surface of the khachapuri.

    Congratulations, you have made a Megruli khachapuri! :)

    Preparation: Put a kettle on a medium heat. Weigh the butter and the flour carefully. Cut the butter into cubes and let them melt in the boiler. Add the flour to the melted butter. Stir with a whisk until you have a solid roux. Keep stirring and let the roux a little dry out, until you get the smell of baked cookies smells. Add the milk to the roux and stir continuously with whisk until the sauce becomes thick. Now you have a thick bechamel sauce. Turn off the heat. From now on, stir with a wooden spoon. Sprinkle the ground Emmental in the pot and let the cheese melt in the warm bechamel sauce while stirring. Break or cut the piece Parmesan cheese into pieces and grind the cheese fine in blender or mini food processor you. Let the cheese melt in the thick sauce while stirring. Separate the yolks and the egg whites in two jars of 6 eggs. We use only yolks, which for an extra good binding and the croquettes also make smoother batter.

Turn the dish with the cooled to and dumps the least on your job board. Cut the croquettes batter into squares of about 5 X 5 cm. Please note that the bigger your the croquettes cuts, the longer they have to bake. The risk of bursting. Preheat your knife regularly here in the warm water, so that it's like by butter slips while cutting the squares. Pull each side of the croquettes first in flour and whisk gently off the excess flour. Get them then by the saucer with the beaten eggs. Please note that each side is well covered with a layer of egg. If not, then it's going to expire later error ... Then remove each croquette by breadcrumbs. Make sure again that there is a low breadcrumbs around the whole croquette. Collect the breaded cheese croquettes on a flat scale. Note: you can also double the croquettes ' safety ' Breading. But actually not. Heat the cooking oil to 170 ° C cheese croquettes. bake the croquettes until golden. Bake not too many croquettes at once.

Then you need them right away from the hot fat. Serve the croquettes with some fresh Cress and lemon pieces.
