Ajapsandali

Ajapsandali is a popular Georgian stew consisting of eggplants, potatoes, tomatoes, onions, bell peppers, and seasonings such as bay leaves, garlic, coriander, black pepper, and salt. The vegetables are stewed in oil, but only for a short time so that they don't lose their color and vitamins. The dish is often consumed as a family meal in Georgia, and it is especially popular during summer. For an interesting twist, try serving it cold with crumbled feta and chunks of bread.
