Eggplant rolls with nuts and garlic: a recipe for Georgian cuisine

Cooking Eggplant Rolls begins with roasting the eggplant themselves. To do this, I wash the vegetable, cut off the caps and cut the eggplants lengthwise into thin strips approximately 0.5 cm thick.If your eggplants are bitter, salt each strip well and leave to lie down for 30 minutes, then rinse thoroughly with water and wipe all the eggplants dry with paper towels : fried rolls in this way will not sprinkle during frying. At this time, chop the onions very finely and fry them in a pan with a small amount of vegetable oil over medium heat until transparent, light golden and set aside. The filling for the Eggplant Rolls will consist in part of this onion.
We put a flat-bottomed pan on medium-high heat, wait until it heats up and begin to fry the strips of eggplant. I do this without oil at all, in order to reduce the calorie content of the dish and get rid of unnecessary fat, which eggplants, like sponges, absorb under a clean one. Eggplant rolls without oil are just as tasty. Fry the strips for 1-2 minutes on each side until blush, covering with a lid in both cases.
We put the finished eggplants in a plate, during the frying of all the pieces, they will have time to cool down a little. Delicious Georgian eggplant rolls will roll much easier this way.
While all the eggplants are fried, prepare the filling. First, grind the nuts in a blender grinder. Eggplant rolls with nuts are incredibly delicious! By the way, if you don't like walnuts, you can replace them with cashews, almonds or hazelnuts - in all cases it will turn out great. Although I, for example, do not at all like to eat walnuts just like that, I really like all the dishes with their presence, so try it!
Put fried onions, fresh peeled garlic, coarsely chopped cilantro, which can also be replaced with parsley if you don't like it, suneli hops, salt, pepper and lemon juice or vinegar into the chopper. By the way, I have a very cool guide article about These life hacks, which I spied on from famous chefs, saved many minutes of my life!

At the end, add a little purified water and grind everything to a homogeneous consistency. If the nut sauce is too thick, add a little more water and beat again. Stuffed eggplant rolls are saturated with the nutty taste and spice of Georgian spices!
When the eggplant appetizer "Rolls with nuts and garlic" is ready for assembly, proceed to the process. Place the fried eggplant strip in the palm of your hand.
Put 1 teaspoon of peanut sauce on the very edge and start rolling the eggplant roll from the edge with the filling to the very end. Eggplant and nuts are perfect.
As a result, we get ready-made eggplant rolls in Georgian style, decorating the tops with a couple of pomegranate seeds, which amazingly complement the taste of this spicy dish.
Repeat the process with each ingredient and ... the eggplant rolls with nuts and garlic are ready! Another Georgian snack flaunts next to them. Phali from spinach , about which I will tell a little later ????
