Mtsvadi is a skewered grill cooked over charcoal in the Georgian way. Pork or beef is cut into large pieces, most often marinated with just salt, pepper and onion, then grilled over an open flame. The aim is to keep the natural taste of the meat, browning the edge while leaving the centre juicy. It usually comes with raw onion rings, pomegranate juice or the sour tkemali sauce. Lavash or fresh bread sits alongside. Mtsvadi is a dish for a friendly gathering, often shared at a large table. In Baku restaurants it is cooked over mangal charcoal and served hot.
