Borano

Borano is a traditional dish from Adjara, nicknamed Georgian fondue, made primarily from sulguni cheese, a semi-soft, brined cheese, and clarified butter. To prepare it, slices of sulguni cheese are melted in a generous amount of butter, creating a gooey, flavorful mixture. Sometimes, cornmeal and a lightly cooked egg are added, enhancing the dish’s creaminess and richness. The result is a simple yet decadent dish often served with traditional Georgian breads like mchadi (cornbread). It is typically served as part of Georgian feasts, known as supra, or enjoyed as a standalone dish for breakfast or dinner.
