🇬🇪 Georgia recipe
Badrijani Nigvzit
Badrijani Nigvzit is one of the most elegant dishes in the Georgian appetizer repertoire. Thin slices of eggplant are fried until silky and golden, then spread with a richly seasoned walnut-garlic paste, rolled into neat cylinders, and adorned with jewel-like pomegranate seeds. Found on every supra table, these rolls showcase the Georgian mastery of combining walnuts, herbs, and spices into a paste that elevates any ingredient it touches.
