One of our favorite Georgian dishes that also happen to be vegetarian are Nigvziani or eggplant rolls. Beetroot, eggplant and spinach P'khali is minced and with walnuts, garlic & khmeli suneli and left to chill overnight to absorb all the flavor. The next day they are rolled into seated thin slices of eggplant which have also been cooled overnight. Finally we add our own touch by placing the rolls over labneh with a drizzle of sunflower oil and pomegranate garnish for a tart and refreshing burst of flavor. Photo by our friends
