Uzbek Cuisine, Silk Road

 

Uzbek food is seriously underrepresented.  Huge cauldrons of simmering plov, a rice pilaf, stirred by men wielding 6 ft (2 m) long spatulas, perfume the air of the local markets, perfectly complemented by the aroma of freshly baked rounds of Uzbek bread, considered the best in the world.

Other highlights include flaky samsa, or Uzbek samosas, herby dolma and then for dessert, soft crumbly halva with rose flavoured ice cream.
