Ingredient appreciation — what makes Dovga special

What sets Dovga apart is the handling of chess herbs (dill, parsley, tarragon, mint). In lesser versions this is treated as a background note. Here it's central and the aromatic with fresh herbs result shows it. I've started buying it to cook with at home after this experience.

Azerbaijani cuisine reflects Turkic, Persian, and Caucasian influences meeting at a historical crossroads. The a traditional Azerbaijani home dinner atmosphere was right for this kind of food. I had Xirdalan beer as recommended and it matched well. If you want to understand what makes this cuisine distinctive, Dovga is the place to start.
