  • Here's a recipe for a Kazakh broth called sorpa — another dish from Kazakh cuisine that never fails to amaze me. A Kazakh friend once treated me to a real bowl of sorpa, and now I'm sharing it with you. First, rinse the meat well in cold water. Then put it in a pot, cover with boiling water, and simmer for 1 to 1.5 hours over low heat. Once it comes to a boil, skim off the foam and excess fat. Salt is added at the end of cooking. The meat is easy to check: it's done when a fork slides in easily. Next, add the carrots, finely chopped onion, peppercorns, and bay leaf, and keep cooking until everything is tender. Strain the broth and ladle it into a deep bowl along with the meat. The dish is ready to eat — all that's left is to garnish it with finely chopped herbs. Sorpa is served in bowls, with baursaks (Kazakh fried dough puffs) on the side. Enjoy!
