Fish with eggplants in pots is a refined dish of Russian cuisine that combines the tenderness of sea fish with the rich flavor of baked vegetables. The origins of this dish trace back to the traditions of cooking in ceramic pots, which preserve all the juiciness and aroma of the ingredients. Eggplants provide a delicate texture, while sweet pepper and onion add a light spiciness. A dressing made from sour cream with spices makes the dish soft and rich. It is easy to prepare, but serving it in pots gives it a homely comfort and special charm. This is an ideal treat for a cozy family dinner or festive table where one wants to enjoy the natural flavors and aromas of fresh products.
