The Bulgarian pechani yabalki are also stuffed with walnuts, but are usually baked, not poached.[1]
The word tufahija comes from Ottoman Turkish tuffāḥa (تفاحة) 'apple', itself borrowed from Arabic.[citation needed]
Tufahije is served in large glasses with their own glazed syrup and whipped cream on top.[2] It's usually accompanied by coffee.[3]
