Classic Lamb Shurpa

Make the perfect hearty lunch — it's so good! My dad (and family grandpa) is the lamb lover in our house, so dishes with this meat are no rarity for us. Here's a wonderful soup called shurpa — an Uzbek treat made with lamb.

    1. Rinse the lamb, cut it into large serving-size pieces, and brown them.
    1. Peel the onion and carrots, rinse under cold water, and slice into half-rings.
    1. Wash the tomatoes and cut them into thin wedges.
    1. Peel the potatoes and cut them in half (for shurpa, the potatoes are cut much larger than for a regular soup).
    1. In a heavy-bottomed pot (or cauldron), layer all the prepared ingredients:
    • the meat goes first — season it with salt, pepper, cumin, and coriander (use half of the salt and spices);
    • next, a layer of onion and carrots;
    • then the tomatoes and potatoes;
    • peel the garlic and press it over the top layer of vegetables;
    • finally, repeat the spices (pepper, cumin, coriander) and salt, and pour in the water.
    1. Set the pot over the heat, bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer the shurpa for an hour.
    1. About 5 minutes before the end, stir in the finely chopped herbs.
  • Serve the fragrant shurpa hot. Treat your family and friends!
