Lezgi National Meal - Tskan

Tsikan is the ancient meal of the Lezgi people.

It is known to be filling and a small amount serves many people. One tsikan can feed a whole family because it contains a lot of ingredients.

Tsikan is made of ground meat with a lot of fat. Onions and potatoes are cut into pieces and ground walnuts are added. Then dry thyme, salt, and pepper are added to this. Yeast dough is prepared, buttered, and made into balls. After rising, the two dough balls are rolled out flat. Cooked ground meat is placed on one of the lavashes, it is covered with another one and the sides are fastened. Tsikan can be twofold or threefold, with a layer of dough between each. It is baked in a kherek (traditional oven) or a stove. After it is baked, tsikan is wrapped in a thick tablecloth for 20-25 minutes.
