Shyps (Adyghe Spiced Gravy)

The number-one dish of Adyghe cuisine — outrageously good! Shyps is a thick, broth-based gravy from the Circassian (Adyghe) people, usually served with meat. Despite its ancient roots, it's very simple to make at home — just follow the steps and it'll come out perfectly. The red pepper oil drizzled on top at serving is optional, but it really brings out the flavor.
