What is a Satsebeli Sauce?

Satsebeli is a traditional Georgian sauce that is typically made with tomatoes, garlic, and fresh herbs. It is often served with grilled meats or as a dipping sauce for bread.

 

The sauce is named after the Georgian city of Satsuma, where it is said to have originated. Satsebeli has a long history in Georgian cuisine, dating back to the early 1800s. The sauce was originally made with a base of walnut and garlic, which was then blended with sour milk and vinegar. Over time, the recipe evolved to include tomatoes and fresh herbs, and it became a staple of Georgian cuisine.

 

Today, Satsebeli is enjoyed by Georgians of all ages and is a popular condiment in restaurants and homes across the country. While the ingredients and preparation may vary slightly from region to region, the basic flavors of Satsebeli remain the same.
