Hisobiga

Hisobiga is a traditional dish from the Caucasus region, particularly popular in Georgia and Azerbaijan. The name "hisobiga" translates to "according to the recipe" in Georgian, reflecting the dish's emphasis on precise ingredients and cooking techniques. The primary ingredients include lamb or beef, onions, garlic, tomatoes, and a blend of spices such as cumin, coriander, and paprika. The meat is typically marinated in yogurt and spices before being slow-cooked in a pot with the onions and garlic until tender. Tomatoes are then added, and the dish is simmered until the flavors meld together. Hisobiga is often served with bread or rice, and it is known for its rich, aromatic flavor and tender meat. The dish is a staple in Georgian and Azerbaijani cuisine, often enjoyed during family gatherings and special occasions.
