🇺🇿Uzbek Recipes

Uzbek cuisine is the heart of Central Asian Silk Road cooking, built on rice, lamb, and wheat noodles. Plov (osh — rice pilaf with lamb, carrots, and cumin cooked in a kazan) is the national dish, prepared communally at celebrations. Samsa (baked stuffed pastries), lagman (hand-pulled noodles), and manti (steamed dumplings) anchor the canon. Distinct from neighbouring cuisines through the kazan/tandir traditions and non bread.
