      Title: Boris's Georgian Eggplant w/Walnut Filling (Badrijani Nig
 Categories: Vegetables, Nuts, Herbs, Chilies
      Yield: 4 Servings
 
      2    Italian eggplants
           Salt
           Oil for frying
      3 c  Shelled walnuts
      2 cl Peeled garlic
      2 oz Water
      1 ts Red or white wine vinegar
      1 ts Ground coriander seed
    1/2 ts Ground fenugreek
      1 ts Dried chile flakes

MMMMM--------------------------GARNISH-------------------------------
    1/2 c  Cilantro
    1/2 c  Italian parsley leaves
           +=OR=+
    1/2 c  Pomegranate seeds
 
  Cut eggplant lengthwise in 1/4" slices. Sprinkle
  generously with salt and let stand at least 30 minutes.
  Rinse, pressing out any bitter juices that have leached
  out. Pat dry with paper towels.
  
  Heat a thin layer of oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  Brown eggplant slices on both sides, working in batches
  so as not to crowd the pan. Add additional oil if the
  slices start to char or stick. When the slices are no
  longer stiff and turn a deep golden brown, transfer to a
  plate lined with paper towels. Continue until all the
  slices are fried. Set them aside to cool.
  
  MAKE THE FILLING: In a meat grinder or food processor,
  process walnuts to the consistency of coarse sand. Empty
  into a medium bowl. Grind garlic cloves and add to the
  walnut mixture. Add the water, vinegar, coriander,
  fenugreek, chile flakes, and salt to taste. Mix well.
  
  Spread a generous layer of filling in the middle of each
  eggplant strip. Do a letter fold to enclose the filling
  and form a square. For shorter strips, fold the top and
  bottom ends like a clamshell.
  
  Arrange the stuffed eggplant on a dish with cilantro
  leaves and parsley or pomegranate seeds as a garnish.
