A delicious Lenten appetizer of Georgian cuisine, which is suitable for both everyday life and the festive table.
Beetroot pkhali is a delicious and simple appetizer from Georgian cuisine. The main ingredient of this snack is walnuts, and it is complemented with herbs and hop-suneli seasoning. Prepared in the form of small balls or cutlets. My family adopted this appetizer two years ago—you could say it was love at first bite.
If you cook the beets in advance, then cooking will not take much time. The amount of pomegranate juice needs to be adjusted so that the mass can be easily formed into balls.
Prepare the necessary products from the list.
