History of Chakapuli
Chakapuli is a staple dish that enhances the beauty of Easter. This dish originates in eastern Georgia and has quickly become an inseparable part of our national cuisine. This might be explained by looking at the components in Chakapuli and their meanings: lamb, which is a symbol of Jesus Christ, tarragon and other herbs, which are symbols of eternal renewing, and wine, which is the main symbol of the Eucharist, the most important ritual.
It’s worth noting that lamb has been replaced by beef in the restaurant industry.
