Chashushuli with Mutton on Beer Recipe
Chashushuli is a spicy and aromatic dish of Georgian cuisine. It is prepared with pepper, aromatic herbs and spices. Usually this dish is served without a side dish, with pita bread or tortillas, which are usually dipped in a rich chashushuli sauce. I suggest cooking this delicious meat dish with a little improvisation - with the addition of beer, which gives this dish a unique taste, soft and sharp at the same time.
