Shulum with brine
12 servings
60 minutes
Shulyum with tuzluk is a fragrant meat dish with a rich broth that warms the soul. Its recipe dates back centuries when nomadic peoples cooked hearty meat soups over fire. Fresh pork ribs, aromatic bay leaves, and black pepper give shulyum a distinctive flavor, while tender potatoes and onions make it softer. The dish's highlight is tuzluk, a hot broth with garlic served separately that adds a spicy note to the dish. Shulyum can be garnished with greens and served as a hearty dinner or lunch. It pairs wonderfully with fresh bread and homemade preserves, creating a sense of coziness and tradition.
