Garlic-scented Shkmeruli and refreshing orange salad that the whole family will love

A night set with garlic-scented Shkmeruli that the family will love, and a refreshing orange salad

It got cold today, and I found myself craving something warm.
On days like this, I want a dish that warms the body and satisfies the soul.
Since I had plenty of milk to use, I made Shkmeruli for the first time in a while.

The main dish is Shkmeruli, delicious with the richness of garlic and milk.
And I served it with an orange salad to lighten the aftertaste.
I garnished both with chervil growing on the balcony.

・Shkmeruli
・Orange salad
・Homemade raisin bread

Shkmeruli is made by slowly cooking chicken coated in salted malted rice and garlic, then gently simmering it with coconut oil, flour, milk, thyme, and steamed sweet potatoes.

The aroma of garlic and thyme stimulates the appetite and warms the body from the inside out.

From a medicinal food perspective:
Garlic has the effect of warming and improving circulation,
Chicken is an ingredient that replenishes energy and boosts vitality.
Sweet potatoes are an ingredient that contains a good balance of both soluble and insoluble dietary fiber.

It is perfect for days when you are tired or feeling the chill.
The sweet potatoes and coconut oil provide a natural sweetness, making it a dish that the family naturally reaches for, even when dipping bread into it.

Paired with the rich, sweet Shkmeruli is a fresh orange salad.
It is a colorful salad that is a delight to the eyes, combining tomatoes, pickled red onions, kumquats, oranges, and steamed sweet potatoes.

The acidity and sweetness of the orange lighten the heaviness after the meal.

In medicinal cooking, citrus fruits are considered ingredients that:
Improve the flow of energy and aid digestion.
It is perfect for this spring season.

With just a little olive oil, salt, and orange juice, the flavors of the ingredients are highlighted, making for a fully satisfying dish.

A rich, warming dish,
And a refreshing, cooling dish.
It became a well-balanced menu.
