Directions
The weather has now turned warmer and we are ready for some lighter meals which is brilliant as Goyarti Gutabi served with yoghurt and pomegranate molasses fits the bill perfectly.
Goyarti Gutabi are an Azerbaijani herb-filled pancake that are simple to make, just a selection of herbs, onion and cream cheese filling the pancakes. They are perfect for snacking on whilst watching the Grand Prix.
Nom nom – these are right up my street – I’m a sucker for this type of snack.
I found this recipe on SBS Food’s website along with a good selection of other Azerbaijani recipes.
They are lovely – make them.

Add egg mixture to flour mixture and stir to combine. Knead mixture for 2 minutes to form a dough, then cover with a clean tea towel and set aside for 1 hour to rest. |

Add garlic and cook for 2 minutes or until fragrant. Add spinach and cook for 2 minutes or until wilted and liquid has evaporated. Remove from heat and stir in herbs. Set aside to cool completely, then stir in the cottage cheese and season with salt and pepper. |
