Rezept von Uzbek home kitchens · 🏺 Traditionell · Everyday cooking of Uzbek households — the settled, oasis-city cuisine of Samarkand, Bukhara and the Fergana Valley, built around rice, lamb and the kazan.

Uzbek · traditional dish (shared dumpling family)An ownerless traditional dish, so no cook is credited. English Wikipedia files chuchvara under Joshpara, the shared Central and West Asian small-dumpling family. That article states plainly that Central Asian chuchvara dough is made with flour, eggs, water and salt, filled with meat and chopped onion, and served either in a clear soup or drained with vinegar or sauce. Quantities and method here are this book's own.

Zubereitung

  1. Mix the flour, egg, water and salt into a firm dough, knead until smooth, and rest it covered for 30 minutes. Mix the beef, onion, pepper and salt into a smooth filling.

  2. Roll the dough paper-thin and cut into small squares, about 4 cm. Put a pea-sized dot of filling on each — no more, or you cannot fold them.

    💡 These are meant to be tiny — a good bowl holds dozens. Cutting the squares small from the start is easier than trying to make dainty parcels from big ones.

  3. Fold each square into a triangle and press the edges shut, then bring the two bottom corners together around your fingertip and pinch them to make a little ring. Lay them out on a floured tray as you go.

  4. Bring the broth to a gentle boil and drop the dumplings in. They are done about 2 minutes after they float to the surface — 6 to 7 minutes in all.

  5. Ladle the dumplings and plenty of broth into bowls and finish with coriander and a grind of pepper. Some like a spoon of vinegar or chilli oil stirred in.

💡 Tipps

  • Chuchvara can also be served 'dry', drained from the broth and topped with thick yogurt and fried onions. Served that way it is not a soup — but the version here, floating in broth, is the everyday one.
  • Make a big batch and freeze them raw on a tray, then bag them — they cook straight from frozen, a couple of minutes longer, which is exactly how they are kept at home.
