The cuisine of Imereti shares many affinities with the neighbouring region of Guria and is known for its plentiful use of walnuts. The most famous Imeretian dishes include Imeruli Khachapuri (იმერული ხაჭაპური - the most common version of the Georgian cheese bread), Mchadi (მჭადი - Cornbread), Pkhali (ფხალი), Kuchmachi (კუჭმაჭი - beef or poultry livers with walnut sauce and pomegranate), Soko (სოკო - fried mushrooms), Lobio (ლობიო - mashed red beans with spices), Badrijani Nigvzit (ბადრიჯანი ნიგვზით - fried eggplant with walnut sauce), Chakhokhbili (ჩახოხბილი - tomato-based soup with poultry meat), Mtsnili (მწნილი - pickled vegetables such as cucumbers, cabbage, beets, and jonjoli), Ekala (ეკალა - pkhali made from smilax) Kupati (კუპატი - pork sausage), Satsivi (საცივი - meat, mostly of chicken/turkey in walnut sauce called bazhe), and Tsitsila Isrim-Maqvalshi (წიწილა ისრიმ-მაყვალში - roasted chick in a blackberry and grape based sauce). Imereti is known for its cheeses such as Chkinti (ჭყინტი - Salty cheese),Imeruli Kveli (იმერული ყველი) and also Sulguni (სულგუნი). My favourite set of dishes are: chimeruli (fried chicken, served hot with a garlic and cream sauce), home-made bread (for dipping the sauce) and a traditional georgian salad (kitri-pomodori, which is cucumber and tomatoes with greens and/or nut sauce). Try it with white local wine called Tsitska or Tsolicauri or their blend!
