Lobio

Kutaisi

A hearty stew of red kidney beans simmered slowly with onions, garlic, coriander, blue fenugreek, and summer savory until thick and almost creamy. Traditionally served bubbling hot in a clay ketsi pot, paired with crisp pickled vegetables and a wedge of mchadi cornbread, lobio is the soul of Georgian peasant cooking — humble, deeply spiced, and endlessly satisfying.
