Khinkali (Georgian Dumplings)
Pleated soup dumplings filled with spiced beef and pork, holding a pocket of savory broth inside.
Why It Works
Adding broth to the raw filling creates a juicy interior that steams during boiling. The thick top knot is the handle (not eaten), concentrating meat juice in the lower pouch.
