Eggplant dishes are very popular in Georgia and there are many variations. In this family recipe we show how to make eggplant caviar with pomegranate.
Ingredients: 1 kilo of eggplants, 2 red onions, 4 cloves of garlic, 1 pomegranate, 1 tbs of coarse hot red pepper, 7 tbs of oil, 1 tbs of white wine vinegar (optional), 20 grams of fresh green coriander and salt (amount dependent upon personal preference).
