👨🍳 Zubereitung
- 1
Pat the pork cubes dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and black pepper.
💡 Profitipps: Drying the pork helps it to brown better. - 2
Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown the pork cubes in batches until golden brown on all sides. Remove the pork from the pot and set aside.
💡 Profitipps: Do not overcrowd the pot; brown the pork in batches to ensure a good sear. - 3
Reduce the heat to medium. Add the sliced onions to the pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly browned, about 8-10 minutes.
- 4
Add the minced garlic and tomato paste to the pot. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
- 5
Stir in the crushed tomatoes, khmeli suneli, and red pepper flakes. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
💡 Profitipps: Scrape the bottom of the pot to loosen any browned bits. - 6
Return the browned pork to the pot. Add about 1/2 cup of water or broth if the sauce seems too thick. Bring back to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until the pork is very tender.
💡 Profitipps: The pork should be fork-tender. - 7
Stir in most of the chopped cilantro and parsley, reserving some for garnish. Cook for another 5 minutes until the herbs have wilted slightly.
- 8
Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Serve hot, garnished with the remaining fresh herbs.
💡 Profitipps: Chakhohbili is excellent served with Georgian bread (puri) or mchadi.
