And here’s how it’s done:
For the nut sauce, grind the walnuts in a blender. Peel and roughly chop the garlic, then add to the walnuts along with the tarragon, turmeric, cinnamon, salt and pepper and mix again.
To make the sauce, add ¼ of the chicken stock to a blender along with the tahini sauce and vinegar and blend until smooth.
Heat the remaining ¾ of the chicken stock in a saucepan over medium-high heat. When the broth is heated, start stirring the nut sauce.
Bring the liquid to a boil and add the chicken. Simmer in boiling sauce for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Meanwhile, cook the rice according to package directions.
Before serving, chop the parsley and peel the pomegranate.
Remove the pan from the heat and garnish with parsley and pomegranate seeds. Serve Georgian-style chicken in nut sauce with rice and enjoy.
