Today I made dovğa.
This cold soups seemed like the perfect midsummer food so yesterday I bought a ton of fresh herbs that made my kitchen smell wonderful!
As last time I found the recipe on AZ Cookbook, the perfect website with Azeri food!
I chopped the herbs
I used a lot of dill, coriander, spinach, mint and parsley together with the green part of fresh garlic.
After a while it looked like this
After it cooled off and I added salt it the taste was perfect! One of my favorite azerbaijani dishes!
I also made badımcan! I'm very allergic to walnuts so I can't eat them or even handle them in cooking. So I had to do without and made my badımcan with garlic and parsley.
I'm very sad that I can't eat the walnut version because everyone tells me it is sooooo delicious. But this is very good as well. It reminds me about days at a Georgian basement restaurant with my great friend Ieva.
Between cooking and eating I played in the park with my niece Alma.
Look, I'm both great at cooking and love children! The perfect wife.

Qarpız Mürəbbəsi
Today I tried my azerbaijani cooking skills for the first time. I made qarpız mürəbbəsi, watermelon rind preserves. I remember the first time I tasted it, it was at the café by fountain square in Baku called Araz. I had never heard about anything like this before, eating the watermelon rind? It sounded crazy. But it is not crazy, it is sweet and nice and heavenly! When I saw the recipe on the wonderful blog AZ Cookbook I couldn't help myself, I had to try it!
And this is the result
This is my first step towards becoming a perfect azerbaijani wife and find myself a good azerbaijani husband. So please show this great mürəbbəsi to all your male azerbaijani friends ;)
Tomorrow I will try to make dovğa
