Discover a delightful twist on the famous Georgian satsivi, where tender chicken is replaced by succulent eggplant! This dish is a true gift for vegetarians and anyone seeking new culinary experiences. Serve it as a standalone appetizer or as an exquisite accompaniment to shashlik, and each bite will transport you to the sunny heart of Georgia.

Begin with thorough preparation: wash all the vegetables, peel the onion and garlic. Carefully remove the seeds from the hot pepper, and rinse the herbs under running water. Have your blender ready and close at hand.

Into the blender cup, place the walnuts, fragrant saffron, hot pepper, garlic, and a pinch of salt. Pour in the pomegranate juice and water. Blend all ingredients until a perfectly smooth consistency is achieved, which will form the base of your sauce.

Finely chop the onion and sauté it in vegetable oil until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Then add the nut paste to the onion, bring to a boil, and simmer over low heat for 15 minutes to allow the sauce to absorb the flavors.

Slice the eggplants into rounds and submerge them in salted water for 15 minutes to remove any bitterness. Afterwards, rinse them thoroughly, pat them dry, and pan-fry them for 3 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Finely chop fresh herbs and generously sprinkle them over the fried eggplants. Pour aromatic nut sauce over everything and let the dish cool so that the flavors meld harmoniously.

Serve this delightful eggplant satsivi, garnished with bright pomegranate seeds for added freshness and sophistication.

Cauliflower fritters with hard cheese are a delicate, airy, yet rich dish that will pleasantly surprise even those who are usually indifferent to cabbage. Thanks to the finely chopped cauliflower, the fritters have a soft and almost creamy texture inside, while a golden crust makes them especially appetizing. Hard cheese adds a distinct flavor and a slight saltiness, creating a harmonious combination with the vegetables. Cauliflower fritters pair wonderfully with chicken, turkey, roasted vegetables, fish, and can also serve as a light dinner on their own. This is a versatile dish that looks equally good on an everyday table or as an unusual appetizer.
