Uzbekistan has a fascinating cuisine that is little known outside the country, and we have an opportunity to sample this exotic way of dining at one of the only restaurants in Southern California that knows how to prepare it, EuroAsia in Encino. The menu will include a tomato and pepper salad, Tashkent radish and beef salad, Shurpa soup of beef and vegetables with dill, Sopmsa, the Central Asian cousin of a somosa, Khanum, a unique steamed dumpling with onions and peppers, and chicken kebab with Central Asian pilaf. Charles Perry will give some background on the specific dishes we will be having, as well as Uzbek etiquette.
