- Meanwhile prepare the filling: crush the walnuts with a mortar and pestle. Chop garlic and add it to the walnuts. Add khmeli suneli and ground coriander, white wine vinegar, salt and pepper. Mix everything and start to pour hot water in the bowl, stirring constantly, until you like the consistency. Don't pour all the water stated above at once.
- Fill each eggplant slice with 1-2 heaped teaspoons of the walnut mixture and roll. Optional: garnish with pomegranate seeds. Enjoy!
