- This recipe is a dish you'd serve as a first course; some Kazakhs simply call it beshbarmak soup. The star ingredient, of course, is lamb — so prized across Central Asia, where it's used in all sorts of dishes. Today let's make beshbarmak the Kazakh way together. Take the lamb and cover it with cold water. Let it sit for two hours. Twenty minutes before the end of that time, add the carrots and onions to the meat — dice them and add a little pepper — then season the meat and vegetables with salt. For the dough, take the flour and add the egg, a splash of water, and a pinch of salt. Knead a stiff dough, then chill it for half an hour. Roll the dough out into a thin sheet and cut it into diamonds about 1 1/2 inches (4 cm) across. Boil them in lightly salted water for 5 minutes. Lift the lamb out of the broth, cut it into pieces, and return it to the pot. Cook another 5 minutes. To serve, arrange the meat and dough diamonds on a plate, ladle over the broth, and sprinkle with fresh herbs. Enjoy!
