Winter is a time when you can excuse yourself of an irregular appetite. Winter in Azerbaijan means that you can eat twice more delicious national food than you eat in summer.

This weekend you can dedicate to lavangi, stuffed chicken or fish. This meal is traditional in the Southern regions, Lankaran, Astara and Masalli.

Fresh air, tasteful food and mesmerizing landscapes are attracting visitors to these regions throughout the year. Why not to take a chance and taste lavangi this time?

In 250-300 km from Baku, you will find delectable stuffed meal that will blow your mind. Lavangi is a treasure of Azerbaijani cuisine. The stuffing is made of walnuts, onions, sweet and sour dried fruit, like plums, prunes, raisins and cherry plums.

Once you taste this meal, you will definitely want more and more. For this purpose, here is a receipt for those who love to cook.

For stuffing, peel and chop the onion and fry in the butter until golden brown.

Crumble the nuts and grind clean dry fruits. Then mix all stuffing ingredients, add oil, if needed. Put the stuffing into the chicken or fish, packing them firmly inside.
