Azerbaijan » Entertainment » Restaurants Cuisine of Azerbaijan Azerbaijani cuisine is one of the tastiest cuisines in the world and the recipes are somewhat similar of those people who live in the Caucasus region. But the Azerbaijani's retain their own uniqueness in their local preparations in the form of flavour, method of preparation and the ingredients they use in it. Meat and fish are used in rich quantities along with vegetarian preparations. The dishes of Azerbaijan are so famous that they now form an integral part of the daily lives of the people of the neighbouring countries. Their specialities like chykhyrtma, khashil, dolma, bozbash, piti, pilau, bozartma, shashlyk and govurma are well known and tried by the world’s best chefs at least once. Most of the dishes primarily are formed of the base of mutton, beef and poultry along with addition of vegetables, herbs and spices. Pork is not used in their cuisine as Muslims, who are a principal part of the population, don’t eat this meat. Stirring of vegetables such as green string beans, eggplants, onions, cucumbers, sweet peppers, spinach, cabbage, sorrel, radishes, beet along with spices such as, anise, bay leaf, caraway seeds and fennel sprinkled with herbs like parsley, celery, mint, dill, thyme, basil give the final look to the dish. But the most popular herb is saffron with it being used in majority of the dishes. To give a strong flavour to the dish as well as garnish it, Azerbaijani’s use green olives, lemons, plums, etc. Bread which is common for the poor Azerbaijani as well as a delicacy for the rich, is cooked in tandoor and are popularly known as pita and oblong churek. Most of the dishes are cooked in copper utensils whose use in now diminishing as the cities are expanding and villages are reducing. The whole Azerbaijani meal mainly consists of soups, bread, main course, sweets and drinks.
