  Georgia has a rich culinary tradition from which Russia has borrowed liberally.
  There are many variations of kharcho from family to family and region to region.
  Also called harco, kharcho is a warming, satisfying soup made with a protein or meat, nuts, a fruit leather or puree, cilantro,
  spices, and rice.
  
  There are many variations of kharcho and a bowl may differ from household to household.
  THe flavors are deep, rich, and a warm bowl is super comforting.
  Any meat can be used, but we use lamb in this variation. Some
  kharchos are more stew than soup. Some of the spices involved are saffron, fenugreek, and coriander,
  which add a complex flavor profile. Kharcho is very
  hearty and sometimes uses a unique technique
  of thickening the soup with ground nuts. Of course, you
  could also make a vegetarian kharco. Some serve
  kharco with bread, khahchapuri, or ghomi, which is a type of polenta

  A negroni is a bitter cocktail but the vermouth and orange garnish add enough fruity sweetness to balance it out.
  The taste is herby, a bit rooty - think liquorice root - and then there are some
  deep dark fruit flavours. The gin is present too so there's
  that classic juniper tang, notes of lemon and coriander seed.
