Kuurdak

This Central Asian dish will win you over with its flavor and aroma! Kuurdak can be served as either a first or a main course. You can easily swap the tomato paste for fresh tomatoes, and the beef for lamb. The vegetables and meat are first browned, then braised in a heavy pot (a cauldron traditionally), which gives the dish a deep, satisfying flavor.
