📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Kubdari is the traditional meat-filled bread of Svaneti, a mountainous region in northern Georgia. Ground beef or pork is mixed with lots of onion and spices like blue fenugreek, wrapped in dough, and baked. Alongside khachapuri, it's one of Georgia's great breads, juicy with the meat's flavor.
