Georgian rolls with bazhe sauce
10 servings
15 minutes
Georgian rolls with bazhe sauce are a true embodiment of Caucasian culinary art. They combine the tenderness of suluguni, the freshness of vegetables, and the spiciness of bazhe nut sauce. Bazhe is a traditional Georgian sauce made from walnuts, garlic, and spices, known since ancient times as a refined addition to meat and vegetable dishes. In these rolls, creamy notes of cheese filling, the aroma of greens, and the sharpness of spices harmoniously intertwine to create a rich flavor bouquet. This dish is perfect for festive tables, appetizer assortments, or light dinners with Georgian wine.
