📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Gutap are half-moon thin pies made in Turkmen homes: thinly rolled dough is wrapped around seasonal fillings such as ground lamb, pumpkin, greens, or camel meat, cooked on a griddle, and brushed with melted butter. They're called by different names depending on the filling, and each family has its own taste.

🌆 Where it's eaten: In a Turkmen kitchen, half-moon pies from the griddle are stacked up and brushed with melted butter one by one.
