Sajichi

Cultural Context

The name comes from the 'saj,' a round metal plate used for cooking over an open flame. This dish embodies the communal spirit of Azerbaijani dining, where food is shared and enjoyed together. In modern times, Sajichi has found its way into various cuisines, celebrated for its smoky flavor and vibrant presentation.
