Cooking method

Step 1:
To make Azerbaijani herb kutabs, gather the ingredients on the list: flour, water, and salt for the dough, plus herbs, cheese, salt, and pepper for the filling.
-
Step 2:
For the filling, chop the herbs, grate the cheese, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
-
Step 3:
Mix well and add a little butter.
-
Step 4:
Make a simple dough from flour, water, and salt. Let it rest a while to relax, then roll it into a log and cut it into pieces.
-
Step 5:
Roll each piece out very thin, almost translucent. Put the filling on one half, fold the other half over, and seal the kutab shut.
-
Step 6:
Cook the kutabs in a dry skillet, covered, flipping to brown both sides.
-
Step 7:
Stack the finished kutabs, brushing each one with butter.
-
Step 8:
Serve them piping hot with a cup of hot sweet tea. Enjoy!
- Azerbaijani kutabs can be made in all sizes—anywhere from palm-sized to nearly two feet across.
