Djiz-biz is a traditional Azerbaijani dish of fried sheep’s kidneys, liver, heart and lung. Don’t be put off by the thought of offal. This is a tasty and nutritious meal! Potatoes are an optional extra in Djiz-biz and a relatively recent addition to the dish. Tomatoes can also be added in summer.

300 g sheep’s kidneys
200 g sheep’s heart
4-5 pcs potatoes (optional)
