  • I tried this dish at an Azerbaijani restaurant in St. Petersburg and asked for the recipe on the spot. Now I often treat my family to this masterpiece — dovga with meat. It's a real centerpiece for the table. First, simmer the lamb bones to make a broth. Grind the lamb in a meat grinder and mix in finely chopped onion and seasonings (salt and ground black pepper), then roll the mixture into little meatballs. Pick over the peas and soak them in cold water for 3–4 hours, then simmer them in the broth until about half done. In a separate pot, stir the yogurt together with the flour and rice and set it over low heat, stirring constantly so the yogurt doesn't curdle. Then add the peas and the meatballs, and combine everything with the broth. Once the mixture comes to a boil, stir in the finely chopped sorrel, cilantro, dill, and salt, and cook until done. So good — enjoy!
