Ingredient appreciation — what makes Pkhali special

What sets Pkhali apart is the handling of sulguni cheese. In lesser versions this is treated as a background note. Here it's central and the rich with walnuts and spice result shows it. I've started buying it to cook with at home after this experience.

the Georgian supra feast is a ritual occasion with formal toasts guided by a tamada toastmaster. The a traditional Georgian supra feast atmosphere was right for this kind of food. I had chacha grape pomace spirit as recommended and it matched well. If you want to understand what makes this cuisine distinctive, Pkhali is the place to start.
