Three Sisters stuffed vegetables is a traditional dish associated with Azerbaijani cooking: eggplants, peppers and tomatoes are filled with a mixture of minced meat, rice and vegetables, then cooked together. The name refers to the three vegetables sharing the pot, rather than to a single variety of produce.
As they cook, the vegetables soften and mingle their juices with the savoury filling; tomato brings a gentle tang, while eggplant makes the dish especially substantial. It is usually served warm as a main course, often with herbs or plain yoghurt alongside. The combination of meat, rice and vegetables makes it filling on its own; for a lighter version, use less meat and increase the vegetable portion.
