Georgian appetizer for barbecue Eggplant on the grill

Georgian cuisine is full of greens, vegetables and seasonings! Delicious and healthy! Eggplants on the grill are very tasty! Whatever I cook from eggplants: both caviar and a spicy fried snack "Light", there is no counting everything. But when the summer day is nearing sunset, which brings relative coolness, and a barbecue is smoking aromatically on the lawn by the river, everyone is looking forward to serving not only traditional sauces, but also a Georgian eggplant snack. And it will certainly appear if all the eggplants have not been sold out at the nearest market in the early morning. Even for the sake of this amazing snack, I won't wake up on vacation at the crack of dawn, it's completely out of my rules. But if I got eggplants, then this food will certainly be.

And by this time the kebab is already ready, a bottle of dry wine is uncorked and pita bread is cut. You don't need any introductions, you can start eating and it doesn't even matter if there is a table nearby, it will be replaced by any piece of fabric that can be laid on the grass. The culinary recipe for eggplant snacks somehow arose by itself from the practice of summer picnics, it is prepared by many and in very different ways. To my taste, it is precisely these proportions of ingredients that give the food the most harmonious taste, but it is not necessary to strictly calculate grams, this is not the case at all.

This is just one of the varieties that are snacks for a picnic in nature.
