Azerbaijan Cooking

We cooked food from Azerbaijan this weekend. I found the food great!

  • Plov - rice pilaf with chicken and various dried fruits. I really liked the blend between sweet and savory. The only problem was that we overcooked the rice since the instructions were not very clear. 9/10. Recipe here.
  • Dolma - meat wrapped in grape leaves. I have tasted an Arabic dish that only contained rice and did not like too much. This one though, I liked as it's basically meatball covered in grape leaves. 7/10. Recipe here.
  • Pakhlava - baklava from Azerbaijan. Like always, we overbake things and they don't turn out as nice as they should be. 8/10. Recipe here.
