Lobio Satsivi – 1,000 Foods to Eat Project

Lobio Satsivi

I’m soooo excited. At the time I write this, Thanksgiving is a couple of months away. My thoughts are already turning to what dishes I might be able to bring to the gathering at my sister’s home. The staple green bean dish for Thanksgiving is the very well known green bean casserole. I have nothing against green bean casserole. However I love to try new foods and I’m determined to bring lobio satsivi to Thanksgiving this year as a new side dish for friends and family to try.

Lobio satsivi??

The book 1,000 Foods to Eat Before You Die by Mimi Sheraton lists lobio satsivi as one of the foods to eat. She says that the foods she lists in her book are the tastes that every food lover should experience or dream about. I am 27 foods in, and lobio satsivi is food #28!

What is Lobio Satsivi?

Green beans

Lobio satsivi hails from Georgia. Georgia is a country in Eastern Europe, and is on the coast of the Black Sea. Russia, Turkey, Azerbaijan, and Armenia also border Georgia.

Georgia has a rich culinary heritage, and I found this amazing website called Georgian Recipes. This site aims to promote and preserve Georgia’s rich culinary heritage. On this site, I learned that satsivi is a thick paste made from walnuts and served cold. “Tsivi” actually means “cold” in Georgian.

Satsivi is actually used in a variety of dishes, including fish, vegetable, and meat dishes. I prepared lobio satsivi as it is one of the 1,000 Foods in my 1,000 Foods to Eat Project. However, the Georgian Recipes site has recipes for Satsivi with Eggs and Onions, and other vegetarian recipes which look fantastic! But these dishes will have to wait for another time…onto the lobio satsivi!

Red onion, garlic, parsley, cilantro, walnuts, red wine vinegar, paprika

Ingredients for the Lobio Satsivi

This delicious green bean dish is very simple to make. The green beans are dressed with the satsivi which is made from: walnuts, garlic, onion, red wine vinegar, vegetable oil, paprika, cilantro, parsley, and salt and pepper to taste.

You will simply prepare the green beans for boiling (top and tail and cut into small pieces), and prepare the satsivi in a container. Then add the green beans to the satsivi once they have been boiled and cooled down.

Ms. Sheraton’s book recommends that the beans be eaten at room temperature. However as mentioned earlier, “tsivi” means “cold” in Georgian. So perhaps it should be eaten once cooled down in the fridge for a few hours.

Nevertheless, I would recommend allowing some time for the flavors to meld, which will result in a much tastier lobio satsivi. 🙂

I really enjoyed these green beans prepared the Georgian way! I can’t wait to share these with my family at Thanksgiving. 🙂

My hope is that you will try them and enjoy them as much as I did!

About Me

Hi I’m Grace! I'm married and a mom to my fur baby, Toby, and food and travel are two of my greatest passions! Since our bank account does not allow us to travel or eat out as much as we'd like, I decided I would cook delicious meals that could give us a taste of all the places we'd like to go. My goal is to get you in the kitchen, and inspire you to cook and taste delightful meals that will transport you too. Let’s throw some actual travel in from time to time, all with an emphasis on keeping your wallet full and happy as well. Let’s get cooking and let’s start exploring!! I'm excited to be on this journey with you!!

By the way most of these recipes are Toby taste tested and Toby approved!!
