Veal & Sour Plum Stew

Different iterations of this robust dish are eaten throughout the Republic of Georgia, some of them quite soupy and others served almost dry. The combination of salt-cured plums, hot chiles, and fresh herbs is typical of the bold, contrasting flavors popular in the Kakheti region of the country. Chinese pickled plums are easier to track down at specialty markets than Georgian ones and are a good substitute.
