Rolled Eggplants Recipe – Armenian Cuisine

Rolled Eggplants Recipe

Rolled Eggplants.For the entire month of December I’m planning to share dishes and desserts mostly from Armenian cuisine and the ones we usually make for our New Year festivities. I doubt I’ll manage to film and share all of them, as the list is quite long, but I’ll try post my most favorites for sure.

This Rolled Eggplants appetizer is certainly the one you would want to try. Incredibly delicious and very simple to make.

Hope you give this a try and let me know how you liked it.

Happy almost Holidays and Happy Lots of Cooking!
