Shashlik

Uzbek shashlik is meat cooked on skewers over an open fire. A common lamb version alternates marinated pieces of meat with small pieces of dumba, sheep’s tail fat. The marinade includes spices. Kiyma kabob uses minced meat rather than whole pieces.[1]

Other Uzbek kebabs include beef liver skewers, called jigar kabob, and chicken skewers. Beshpanja is arranged on five skewers together. Gijduvan, near Bukhara, is particularly known for its kebabs.[1]
