🇬🇪 Georgia recipe

Ajapsandali

Ajapsandali is the Georgian answer to ratatouille, a vibrant summer vegetable stew that showcases the bounty of the garden. Eggplant, peppers, tomatoes, and potatoes are layered and simmered together until they meld into a silky, aromatic dish. Unlike its French cousin, ajapsandali is generously seasoned with Georgian herbs and spices, giving it a distinctly Caucasian character that is both comforting and refreshing.
