Step by Step guide

Step 1

Take beef on the bone — 500–600 grams for a large pot (5 liters). Start boiling and add salt.

Step 2

Pour oil into a skillet. Chop the onion, tomatoes, and pepper, and sauté them.

Step 3

After 40 minutes of boiling the beef (remember to skim off the foam), add the sautéed mixture to the pot. Also, chop the eggplant into medium cubes and add it to the soup. Add tkemali and adjika (to taste depending on spiciness).

Step 4

After 40 minutes, add the potato — 1 large potato, diced. Also, add 0.5 teaspoon of khmeli-suneli (you can add more to taste). At the same time, remove the beef and place it on a cutting board to cool. Shred the meat into small pieces.
