#12 Azerbaijan

We made 4 recipes for Azerbaijan night:

1. Baku Fish Kebabs, which we made from this New York Times recipe;

2. Shakh Plov, a rice pilaf baked inside a buttery crust (in this recipe, the crust is tortillas);

3. Qutab, which was described in this recipe as “a savory, herb-filled crepe,” but we found more like a quesadilla, and

4. A lemon sharbat, a drink of lemon juice, saffron, and coriander seeds. This recipe mostly tasted of saffron.
