Dymlyama

120 minutes
A hearty Uzbek dish cooked in a cauldron. Dymlyama, or dumlyama, comes from the Uzbek "dumlyash" - "to steam", "to let steam". The ingredients in this stew have a special order of laying, which distinguishes it from similar Central Asian stewed dishes. The meat is laid out first, and then vegetables are laid out layer by layer, and this composition is completed by potatoes laid out in a circle. As a result, it turns out that the lower part of the products simmers in its own juice, and the upper part is steamed . Ease of preparation and richness of tastes are the main advantage of this dish, without which no festive table in Uzbekistan is complete.
