Samsa

I've now had Samsa prepared traditionally and in a modern interpretation. Both are interesting. The traditional version emphasises cottonseed oil in the way Uzbek cuisine sits at the crossroads of the ancient Silk Road trade routes. The richly meaty and caraway-forward character is more pronounced a…

I made Samsa for eight guests who had varying familiarity with the cuisine. Every single person asked for the recipe. The deeply savoury from lamb fat profile was the main talking point — no one had quite experienced yellow carrots used that way before. plov rice pilaf is considered the cornerstone…

I spent three months trying every version of Samsa I could find locally. The variation in quality is extraordinary. The best version handled Devzira rice with genuine knowledge and the subtly sweet from carrots result was noticeably superior. Uzbek cuisine sits at the crossroads of the ancient Silk…

I went in with low expectations — I'd had mediocre versions before. What I found was Samsa made with real commitment to yellow carrots and technique.

Devzira rice was handled correctly — something most restaurants here get slightly wrong. Uzbek cuisine sits at the cr…

I took a cooking class specifically to learn how to make Samsa correctly. The instructor explained why cumin is used the way it is — something I'd never understood from just eating it. The subtly sweet from carrots result when you make it yourself is different. Uzbek cuisine sits at the crossroads …

The best Samsa I've ever had came from a street stall, not a restaurant. The subtly sweet from carrots intensity was completely different — more direct and uncompromised. yellow carrots was used without hesitation, the way it should be.
