Uzbek Mashkhurda (Mung Bean Soup)

Cut the winter chill with some Eastern flair — fabulously tasty and fragrant! This dish is hearty and recommended for winter, though I make it year-round. Mashkhurda is a little like Georgian kharcho soup, but it comes out richer. It disappears in a flash at our house, and whenever friends or relatives drop by for lunch and try this treat, they always beg for the recipe)))

  • Mashkhurda is a traditional winter dish of Uzbek cuisine. Like many Eastern dishes, it's made with lamb or beef, and it's typically quite spicy and hot. 1. Cut the beef into small, serving-size pieces. 2. Peel and cut the vegetables: carrots into matchsticks, onion and bell pepper into small cubes. 3. Heat the vegetable oil in an appropriately sized pot (a Dutch oven works) over high heat and, stirring constantly, brown the beef. 4. Lower the heat, add the onion and carrot, and cook for 5 minutes, then add the bell pepper and cook a few minutes more. 5. Add the pressed garlic and spices to the tomato paste and mix well so everything melds. (In summer, you can use diced peeled tomatoes or tomato purée instead of paste.) 6. Add the spice paste to the meat and vegetables, stir well, and pour in the water. Add a little salt at this point, bring everything to a boil, and simmer over low heat for 20 minutes. 7. While the meat simmers, peel and dice the potatoes and rinse the mung beans and rice. Soak the mung beans in cold water for 15 minutes so they cook faster. 8. Add the potatoes and mung beans first; add the rice once the mung beans start to split open. 9. Continue cooking the soup until the rice is done. 10. Only once it's fully cooked, taste and add salt as needed. 11. Serve the mashkhurda with finely chopped fresh herbs, sour cream, or garlic. Enjoy!
