格鲁吉亚核桃茄子卷
A jewel of the Georgian supra (feast table): slices of fried eggplant rolled around a vivid, garlicky walnut paste seasoned with the country's signature spices — blue fenugreek, marigold, coriander — and finished with ruby pomegranate seeds. Badrijani nigvzit is rich, savoury and a little tangy, eaten cool as an appetiser. The walnut filling, smooth and intensely flavoured, is the heart of so much Georgian cooking, and here it's at its most elegant.
