Uzbek beef shurpa
Description
The recipe won't take much time. There are countless different recipes for shurpa available online. I suggest a fairly simple yet delicious version that you can easily prepare at home without any problems or high expenses. Uzbek shurpa made from beef is cooked in a kazan with a special type of peas, which should be soaked overnight. Potatoes are cut into large pieces. If the potatoes are small, you can cook them whole. For spices, I recommend using cumin, bay leaf, and fresh herbs. Serve hot.
