Classic Kazakh Beshbarmak With Lamb

Beshbarmak is a traditional Kazakh dish that translates to “five fingers,” referring to the way it’s traditionally eaten—using your hands. This hearty meal typically features boiled meat served over flat noodles, and in this version, tender lamb is the star ingredient, complemented by a savory broth and served with onions and spices.

Cooking Steps Instructions:

1. In a large pot, place the lamb and cover it with water. Add salt, pepper, bay leaves, and one chopped onion. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 2 to 2.5 hours until the lamb is tender.
2. Once cooked, remove the lamb and strain the broth. Set the broth aside.
3. In the same pot, bring the strained broth back to a boil and cook the flat noodles according to package instructions (or until tender if making homemade).
4. While the noodles are cooking, slice the lamb into bite-sized pieces and the remaining onion into thin rings.
5. Drain the noodles and serve them on a large platter, topped with the sliced lamb and garnished with onions and parsley. Optionally, serve with a bowl of the reserved broth for dipping. Enjoy your beshbarmak!
