Kukla, It is nice to learn that there are other Tkemali lovers out there. Making the sauce ahead of time and adding the cilantro at the time of serving is very clever idea. Pomegranates is a great twist for this sauce.

I know and love Tkemali. This sauce is so delicious as a condiment for any meat, but especially prepared on the grille. It was very clever of you cookingProf, to make Tkemali from cranberries; I think pomegranate would also work very well in this recipe; just it is a lot more complicated to peel and get 12oz of the pomegranate seeds. By the way Georgians and Azerbaijani use Cilantro (Kinza) very often in their dishes. For a longer shelf life, I think it is better to cook Tkemali with dried spices such coriander, fenugreek and cinnamon, and just before serving add the fresh cilantro. Thank you for the recipe!
