Kurka levengi

Kurka levengi is a traditional chicken dish originating from Azerbaijan. The dish is usually made with a combination of chicken, pitted prunes, sumac, olive oil, walnuts, onions, lemon zest and juice, salt, and pepper. The chicken is rubbed with olive oil, sprinkled with sumac, and placed in a roasting pan. The prunes are chopped and mixed with the walnuts, lemon zest, lemon juice, and onions. The mixture is seasoned with salt and pepper and stuffed into the chicken which is then roasted until the juices run clear when sliced through the thick part of the leg. Once done, the dish is often served with roasted vegetables on the side.
