About Buglama
Flavors of Baku’s buglama layers lamb ribs with onion, bell pepper and tomato. The dish cooks gently in its own juices, following the steamed preparation described by the source.
Fatty ribs supply the richness in this rendition. Salt and pepper season the lamb before the sliced vegetables and herbs are arranged over it in the pot.
The layers cook until the meat is tender. Chopped cilantro is added before the ingredients are mixed, and the finished buglama is served hot with its cooking juices.
