Description
A comforting bowl of Azerbaijani dumplings filled with savory ground meat, served in aromatic broth.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 lb (about 227 g) ground lamb or beef
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 6 cups chicken or beef broth
- 1 onion, quartered
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed
- Fresh herbs (parsley or dill) for garnish
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix flour, water, and egg to form a dough. Knead until smooth and let rest for 30 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, combine the ground meat, chopped onion, salt, and pepper to make the filling.
- Roll out the dough thinly and cut it into small squares. Place a small amount of the meat mixture in the center of each square and fold to form dumplings.
- In a pot, heat the broth with quartered onion and garlic. Bring it to a simmer.
- Add the dumplings to the simmering broth and cook for about 10 minutes or until they float and are cooked through.
- Season the broth with salt and pepper and serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs.
Notes
Dough texture is essential; it should be smooth and slightly elastic. Seal edges well to prevent leaks.
