About the dish

Tava kebab is an Azerbaijani variety of the world-famous meat dish, made with local herbs, vegetables, and eggs. The most common version starts by mixing the minced mutton (or beef) with finely chopped onions and garlic, shaping the mixture into meatballs and then pan-frying them. Onions, tomatoes, green chilis, cilantro, and mint are then placed in the pan with the meat. Depending on the region and personal preferences, either beaten eggs can be poured into the mixture to blend all the ingredients together, or a sunny-side-up egg can be placed on top of the meat. The dish is garnished with fresh mint and served as the main course.
