Parcha bozbash

Parcha bozbash is a traditional meat dish originating from Azerbaijan. Although there are a few recipes, the dish is usually made with a combination of lamb shanks, potatoes, onions, chickpeas, saffron, mint, and salt. Tomatoes can be used as well, if desired. The lamb is seasoned with salt and boiled in water with the onions over low heat until the meat is tender. It is then placed into a pot with cooked chickpeas, potatoes, mint, and saffron. Broth is poured over the mixture, and the dish is cooked for a few minutes over low heat until done. Parcha bozbash is served warm on individual plates.
