Uzbek Cuisine

Do these look about right? Here they are in the kazan getting ready to be cooked. Here is the recipe.

I got this very easy recipe from the book, Please to the Table. It sort of like a samsa.

2 Containers Buttermilk Biscuits
1 Pound Ground Beef
1 Large Onion Chopped
1/4 Cup of Parsley or Dill, whatever is cheaper I guess
1/3 Cup Ice Water
Salt and Pepper to Taste
Oil

Open biscuits and let stand for 15 minutes. In large bowl, combine meat, onion, parsley, and water. Mix well and season with pepper. Heat oil in a large pan to 375 degrees. Pat biscuits flat, place 1 tablespoon of filling in the middle of each and fold over. Make sure the seals are tight so they won’t leak into the pies. Fry the pies until golden brown.

I have made something like this using tortilla mix. I made the homemade tortillas, filled them with the meat and herbs and fried them. I also put them in the oven. It is not traditional I guess, but we love it. The tortilla mix is available in any grocery store.
