Baje recipe – walnut sauce for meat and/or vegetable (step by step guide)

Baje is a walnut sauce for meat and/or vegetable with the most spicy flavor. it is a walnut, spices, and garlic mix. If you have not tasted it yet, bliss is ahead.  Preparation is the easiest, a few minutes of your time, a little determination, and a divine sauce is ready.

Baje is a Georgian sauce, and sometimes it is likened to the Georgian dish Satsivi‘s sauce probably because the ingredients are almost the same. However, Satsivi uses meat, and its sauce is also made with meat fat, unlike Baje. So the cooking methods are so different, there is quite a difference in the flavors as well.

Georgians mainly serve Bazhe sauce with meat, fish, or Ghomi. This tradition is so established that mixing it with vegetables is not mentioned here. However, one fine day, when my son refused to eat meat, but told me that he was happy to eat Baje, I thought – why not! a mix of walnuts, spices, and garlic with a cucumber and tomato salad will be great! Since then, salad with Baje is my and my son’s favorite food.
