Pili Nut Pkhali

Pkhali - the traditional dish of Georgian cuisine made with spinach, nuts and spices. So tasty and easy to make. It's an excellent fulfilling vegan dish! Traditionally made using walnuts, however we have made it using pili nuts instead and it worked so well!

500g spinach
70g of Pili Nuts
30g walnuts (optional)
2 cloves Garlic (minced)
Seasoning: salt, pepper, ground coriander, blue fenugreek powder (all to taste)
