Georgian sauce with walnuts and garlic

How to make Georgian walnut and garlic sauce? Very simple! Start by preparing the necessary ingredients on the list. green basil is better. With purple sauce, it will also turn out delicious, but not such a beautiful color. I have a bush basil with small leaves. This is sold in large hypermarkets. To taste, it is no different from ordinary basil. Yogurt is suitable for any fat content. I have 6%.

You can pre-dry the walnuts in a dry frying pan. Then chop the nuts with a knife into smaller pieces.

Peel the garlic cloves and chop with a knife. Optionally, you can replace fresh garlic with 1-2 tsp. dry. If you want a sauce that is softer in taste, without spiciness, you can not add garlic at all.

Put the walnuts into the blender bowl. Whisk into very fine crumbs. Instead of a stationary blender, you can use a submersible.

Add the washed basil and garlic to the chopped nuts. Salt the mass, pepper. Beat again until smooth. I also advise you to add utskho-suneli seasoning to the sauce. With it, the sauce will turn out indescribably tasty and fragrant.

Add natural yogurt and beat everything again until a homogeneous smooth sauce is obtained. The sauce is of medium thickness, fluid. If you want the sauce to be thinner, add a little more yogurt.

Georgian walnut sauce with garlic is ready. You can serve it with baked or fried meat or vegetables. And also as a dressing for various salads from fresh or baked vegetables. I served the sauce with roast pork. Very tasty! Bon appetit!
