Tips

Why it works
Запекай баклажаны при 210 °C, чтобы они стали мягкими и не впитали лишний жир. Если температура ниже, они будут сухими или сырыми внутри.
Substitutions
Замени грецкие орехи на кедровые (20 г) или упусти их вовсе. Кинзу можно заменить петрушкой (10 г), но кислинки будет меньше.
Common mistakes
Если баклажаны горчат, нарежь их тоньше и запекай дольше. Горький привкус исчезает при термообработке.
Storing and reheating
Храни в холодильнике 3 дня. Разогревай в микроволновке 1–2 минуты, накрыв тарелку. Гранат лучше добавить свежим перед подачей.
Serve with
Подавай с гречкой или лавашем на обед или ужин. Подходит как легкий ужин после работы.
