  • I first tried this Azerbaijani dish while visiting good friends of mine. This Azerbaijani family carefully keeps its national cooking traditions alive, and the lady of the house was happy to share her recipe for an Azerbaijani-style fry-up. Cut the boneless lamb into pieces — figure 3–4 pieces of meat per serving. Rinse the lamb kidneys, trim away the membranes, and cut them in half. Season the kidneys and meat with salt and pepper and fry them in butter. Slice the onion into rings, sauté it, and stir it into the meat. Make a stiff unleavened dough with water and a little salt, then roll it out into small, very thin flatbreads. Cook them in a dry skillet without oil. Roll each finished flatbread into a cone, tuck the fried meat inside, and tie it up with a green onion stalk. For a side, pan-fry some tomato wedges and garnish with fresh herbs. This Azerbaijani-style fry-up can be the centerpiece of any festive spread.
