Author Notes
I was born and raised in Republic of Georgia. Cooking has been a passion for me. It began with my mother, an amazing cook; an angel in the kitchen. As a child I was fascinated watching her create mouthwatering dishes from ordinary ingredients.
"Chanaxi" is a festive summer dish my mother makes and I make for my family when tomatoes and eggplants are in season. I am sharing this dish because it provokes childhood memories and is delicious and easy to make.
"Chanaxi " can also be created as vegetarian dish.

The fun part is to build all these ingredients together. I would recommend clay pot containers and also Le Creuset Mini Cocotte. Rub butter and olive oil the containers first layer would be potatoes, next eggplants, seasoned beef, onions, tomatoes, herbs pressed down lightly, sprinkle the top with little salt.
Cover with lead or tinfoil and place into preheated oven 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Cook about one hour.
