20 minutes
Tender eggplant stew with cottage cheese is a harmony of textures and flavors. Eggplant, with its natural softness, becomes a silky base in this dish, while the cottage cheese adds creamy tenderness and a slight tanginess. The author's interpretation of the classic stew reveals the richness of Eastern spices: sumac provides a subtle lemon note, while the pepper mix and ground chili add a barely noticeable spiciness. This dish is perfect for cozy home evenings, either as a light snack or as a side to meat and fish dishes. It delights with its simplicity of preparation and refined taste, making it an excellent choice for those who appreciate gastronomic discoveries.
