Hashlama made from beef is a hearty and aromatic dish with roots in ancient nomadic traditions. It combines tender meat infused with spices with the rich flavors of vegetables and greens.

Sweet peppers, tomatoes, and potatoes add freshness and a hint of sweetness, while garlic and herbs enhance the depth of flavor. Hashlama is perfect for family gatherings and friendly meetings, emphasizing the value of leisurely meals and warm company.
