Navigating Nightshade-Free Azerbaijani Plov: Safety Tips and Tricks with MM Food

Azerbaijani Plov, a fragrant rice dish layered with tender meat, dried fruits, and aromatic spices, is a culinary treasure. However, traditional recipes often include nightshade-family ingredients like tomatoes, peppers, or potatoes—problematic for those with sensitivities. Here’s how to enjoy this dish safely using MM Food’s innovative tools.

Understanding Nightshades in Plov

Nightshades like tomatoes (used in broth), bell peppers (in garnishes), or potatoes (in some regional variations) are common culprits. These can trigger reactions for individuals with autoimmune conditions or allergies.
