FEBRUARY 22, 2025: Khinkali - Georgian Dumplings (Partner Class)
$225.00
Date: Saturday, February 22, 2025
Join us at Barton Springs Mill for a hands-on exploration of Georgian cuisine as we craft Khinkali—traditional, juicy dumplings bursting with savory Angus ground beef and authentic Georgian spices. Under the expert guidance of culinary instructor Katya Lyukum, you'll discover the remarkable qualities of Butler’s Gold Heirloom Flour, learning firsthand why heirloom grains produce superior flavor and texture.
Khinkali are a staple of Georgian feasts, celebrated for their juicy meat filling and iconic pleated tops. Legend has it they originated in the mountainous regions of Georgia, where hearty fare was essential for traversing rugged terrain. Traditional Khinkali are grabbed by the top (aka kudi or “hat”), turned upside down, and eaten with your hands—sip the hot, flavorful broth inside before devouring the rest. Then, you can eat the rest of the dumpling, except for the part you’ve been using as a holder, the “hat.” Since khinkali is a communal dish, watch how many “hats” you collect on your plate to ensure nobody’s left behind.
Enjoy the satisfying payoff of tasting your freshly made Khinkali together at the end of class—the best part of any cooking adventure! Get a behind-the-scenes look at Barton Springs Mill with our Education Director. Learn how we source, test, and mill heirloom grains to preserve their integrity and flavor. Take home your newfound passion for heirloom grains! After class, you’ll receive a 15% discount on Barton Springs Mill products, ensuring you can continue to master heirloom baking and cooking at home.
