This simple Georgian appetizer of eggplant rolls with walnut filling is one of the best treats you’ll try from Georgia!

Ingredients

3 medium-sized eggplants

salt & black pepper for taste

cooking spray

150 grams or 1 1/2 cups walnuts

100 ml or 1/2 cup very hot water

2 cloves garlic minced

1 tsp. Georgian Khmeli Suneli

1/2 tsp. ground coriander

2 tsp. white wine vinegar (You can substitute with 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar)

3 Tbsp. pomegranate seeds to serve

Instruction

1

Preheat your oven to 180 ºC (350 ºF). Slice your eggplants lengthwise with a sharp knife. Spray the baking tray with cooking spray and arrange eggplant slices on it. You may need more than one baking tray for this number of eggplants. Lightly spray the tops of the eggplant slices with cooking spray, then sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Bake 15 minutes, then flip them over and bake for 15 minutes more.

Meanwhile prepare the filling: crush the walnuts with a mortar and pestle until they look like in the picture down. Add minced garlic, Georgian Khmeli Suneli, ground coriander, white wine vinegar, salt and pepper. Mix everything and slowly add hot water to the bowl, stirring constantly, until you like the consistency. Don't pour in all the water at once, as you may not need that exact amount.
