Pichagh-Gheimeh or Pıçaq-Qeyme (South Azerbaijani/Persian: پیچاق‌قیمه) is one of Ardabil's (a city in Iranian Azerbaijan) traditional foods.

Pichagh-Gheimeh is usually made with lamb's meat, sliced onions, almond, and egg. One of the most important secrets of making this dish is to fry the sliced onions in oil, which turns the color of the onions from white to brown. Fried eggs are used in order to design it beautifully. White rice is also eaten with it. This food is also cooked by cities and villages near Ardabil, such as Tabriz and Sareyn.

The generous use of oil makes the food greasy, but most people visiting Ardabil enjoy eating this traditional food. Other traditional dishes include a soup named "Ashe-dough" and a special Halva named "Halva-siah".[citation needed]
