Uzbek shurpa - general principles of preparation
Immediately prepare a cauldron or a thick-walled pot, the shurpa is cooked only in such dishes. You can use the slow cooker.

The main thing is that the pieces were fat and on the bone, brisket or brisket are best suited.
Vegetables use potatoes, carrots, onions, tomatoes, cabbage, zucchini and others. Not rarely add beans, mostly chickpeas, or grits - rice.
The spices and herbs used also affect the taste of the food: coriander, white, black and red pepper, cumin, basil, cilantro, dill, laurel, cumin are suitable.
