Description
A classic recipe from Georgian cuisine inspired by renowned chef John Smith. Unlike the roll-ups typically prepared for festive tables by Soviet housewives, these eggplants are filled with young cheese that has a neutral milky flavor and a creamy texture instead of heavy mayonnaise. This dramatically changes the final taste of the dish: the fried eggplants combined with the cheese reveal a nutty flavor, while the green adjika adds a sharp twist to a well-known culinary theme.
