Steamed eggplant caviar is a refined dish of Russian cuisine that captivates with its tenderness and rich flavor. Historically, eggplant caviar was popular in Russian households as a simple and accessible appetizer. This steamed version preserves all the beneficial properties of the vegetables, making it light and aromatic. Eggplants, sweet peppers, and tomatoes are gently steamed, revealing their natural flavor nuances. Thanks to spices and the addition of wine vinegar, the caviar acquires a slight spiciness and freshness. It is perfect as a cold appetizer, a side dish for meat, or as a spread for crispy bread. An excellent choice for those who appreciate healthy eating and classic flavors of Russian cuisine.
