- 1 teaspoon khmeli suneli seasoning see the recipe in my post
- 1 tablespoon freshly chopped tarragon or 1 teaspoon dried
- 1 tablespoon fresh ground turmeric or 1 teaspoon dried
- 3 cloves ground
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
- 4 threads saffron

- 200 ml or 1 cup chicken broth
- 2 teaspoons tahini paste optional
- 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
- 300 grams or 10 oz kale
Instructions
- Boil rice according to instructions on the package. Drain.
- In the meantime, ground walnuts using a food processor or an immersion blender.
- Add minced garlic, khmeli suneli, tarragon, turmeric, cloves, cinnamon, coriander, saffron, black pepper and a pinch of salt. Pour about 1/4 cup chicken broth, tahini paste (optional) and white wine vinegar and mix well.
- In a pot, heat the remaining chicken broth over medium heat and gradually add the walnut mixture once the broth is warm, stirring constantly. Bring to a boil, add diced chicken breasts and cook for about 10 minutes over medium-low heat stirring occasionally.
- In the meantime, roughly chop kale and sprinkle with 1-2 pinches of salt. Knead kale for a minute until it's soft and dark.
- Serve satsivi over layers of kale and rice and season to taste. Enjoy!

Notes
- Adjust the consistency of the sauce by adding more chicken broth if it's too thick or a bit of flour (start with 1 teaspoon) if it's too liquid.
