👨🍳 Ohjeet
- 1
Pat the lamb cubes dry and season with salt and pepper.
- 2
Heat vegetable oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown the lamb cubes in batches until golden brown on all sides. Remove the lamb and set aside.
- 3
Add the chopped onions to the pot and cook until softened and translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
- 4
Return the browned lamb to the pot. Add about 2 cups of water or lamb broth, enough to partially cover the meat. Add half of the chopped tarragon.
- 5
Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the lamb is very tender. Add more liquid if needed during cooking.
- 6
Once the lamb is tender, stir in the sour plum sauce (tkemali) and the remaining chopped tarragon, cilantro, and parsley. Simmer for another 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- 7
Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if necessary. The tkemali provides a distinct sourness, so add more to taste if desired.

- ✓Tarragon is a key herb in Chakapuli; don't omit it.
- ✓This stew is even better the next day as the flavors deepen.
