Shivit oshi
Khiva’s green noodles, made with dill in the dough and topped with a meat and vegetable stew and yoghurt. A dish you’ll only find in the Khorezm region.
Ingredients
- 400 g flour
- 1 large bunch of dill
- 1 egg and water
- 400 g beef or lamb, diced
- 1 onion, 1 carrot, 1 potato and 1 pepper
- 2 tomatoes
- Cumin, salt and pepper
- Plain yoghurt
How to make it at home
- Blend the dill with the egg and a little water and knead with the flour to a firm green dough.
- Roll it out thinly and cut it into noodles.
- Stew the meat with the diced onion, carrot, potato, pepper and tomato, with cumin, for 40 minutes.
- Cook the noodles in salted water for 3 minutes.
- Serve the noodles with the stew on top and a spoonful of yoghurt.
The trick: Plenty of dill: it should be a deep green.
