The Geography of Taste. Gedlibzhe Chicken with Millet Pasta

An Ottoman traveler back in the 17th century wrote of Kabardinian cuisine: “They all eat boiled pasta made of millet, a lightly boiled cereal that they mold by hand into balls and eat piping hot in a special dressing.” That special dressing is “ships” sauce, made with stock, Smetana sour cream and garlic and served with chicken. The dish is called Gedlibzhe, and to this day it’s one of Kabardino-Balkaria’s signature dishes. The Geography of Taste host Vladimir Pavlov will teach you how to prepare this traditional staple of the inhabitants of the North Caucasus that’s popular with locals and visitors alike.
