Caucasian Cuisine in the Autoclave
Homemakers often wonder: what should they preserve? After all, classic recipes and dishes no longer surprise anyone, and experiments do not always turn out well. Especially for you, UTEHO (Ukrpromteh) has prepared a series of recipes that will definitely surprise your guests. And we will start with Caucasian cuisine.
Caucasian cuisine is distinguished by recipes for dishes that often have a very long history. Food is one of the elements through which you can feel the spirit of a region or country. And now, you don’t need to go to a Georgian or Armenian restaurant for this — it’s enough to simply open a preserved dish.
BESTSELLERS
Chakhokhbili from Chicken
Ingredients (for a 350 g jar):
- chicken meat – 250 g;
- rice – 100 g;
- onion – 15 g.

Cooking method:
- Cut up the chicken and separate the meat from the bones. Cut the meat into pieces of 30-50 grams.
- Peel the onion and cut into half rings.
- Do not throw away the bones — boil broth from them for the tomato sauce. Take bones and water in a 1:3 ratio and cook until ready. Add flour to heated oil, pour in the resulting broth (after removing the bones) and add sugar. Bring to a boil and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
- Soak the rice in warm water so that it swells.
- Fry the chopped chicken in oil together with the onion almost until done.
- The next step will be making the tomato sauce. For this, take the ingredients in the following proportions:
- broth – 60%;
- parsley – 4%;
- tomato puree (paste) – 35%;
- ground red pepper – 0.5%;
- ground black pepper – 0.5%.
- Mix all ingredients thoroughly. It is important to add warm broth (approximate temperature 75℃).
- Tightly place the chicken pieces and rice into jars, alternating them in layers, and pour hot sauce over the top.
Close the jars and put them in the autoclave.
- If the thermometer is located in the upper part of the vessel — preserve for 40 minutes at 110 degrees.
- If the thermometer is located in the lower part of the vessel — preserve for 40 minutes at 120 degrees.
According to a similar recipe, you can make chakhokhbili from duck meat. Rice can also be replaced with vermicelli or removed from the recipe entirely. In this case, put the ingredients into the jars in the proportion: fried meat – 50%, fried onion – 15%, tomato sauce – 35%.
Adyghe-style Chicken
Ingredients (for a 1 L jar):
- chicken – 800 g;
- onion – 50 g;
- flour – 30 g;
- garlic – 10 g;
- salt – 10 g;
- ground red pepper – 6 g.
For this recipe, we need a whole chicken cleaned of entrails. During further preparation, separate the meat from the bones and set the fat aside.
This recipe can also be used to make Adyghe-style duck, keeping the same proportions, or even mixing both types of meat.

Preparation:
- Cut the chicken into pieces weighing about 50 grams.
- Peel the onion, cut into half rings, and fry in oil.
- Prepare the sauce in the following proportion:
- fat from the bones – 17%;
- fried onion – 20%;
- red pepper – 3%;
- flour – 15%;
- garlic (chopped) – 5%;
- salt – 5%;
- water – 35%.
- Place the meat into jars and pour over the sauce.
Close the jars and place them in the autoclave.
- If the thermometer is located in the upper part of the vessel — preserve at 110 degrees for 40 minutes.
- If the thermometer is located in the lower part of the vessel — preserve at 120 degrees for 40 minutes.
Considering the same sterilization modes and similar ingredients, you can easily cook these two dishes at the same time. This way you save time and get twice as many delicious dishes.
