Uzbekistan Style Lamb Kebabs

Cultural Context

Originating from Central Asia, lamb kebabs, or shashlik, are a beloved staple in Uzbek cuisine, often enjoyed during festive gatherings and family celebrations. The dish showcases the region's rich pastoral traditions, where lamb is a primary source of meat. Today, shashlik has gained popularity beyond Uzbekistan, with variations found in many countries, each adding their unique twist to the preparation and seasoning.
