About the dish
Qutab are thin half-moon flatbreads of unleavened wheat dough with a modest filling, cooked on a hot, domed saj griddle. The classic version is filled with mixed greens – spinach, sorrel, dill, coriander and spring onion – but minced lamb and pumpkin with pomegranate are just as popular. The hot qutab are brushed with butter, stacked up and served with yoghurt or soured milk sprinkled with sumac. They are eaten as a snack, for breakfast or as a starter before a bigger feast, and in Baku they are also sold on the street.
