Simple Turkmen Govurdak Recipe: A Flavorful Dish

A Simple Turkmen Delight: Govurdak Recipe This week, we explore the culinary traditions of Turkmenistan with a simple yet flavorful dish known as Govurdak. This recipe, demonstrated by home cook Said Jumyazov, features lamb liver and heart as its star ingredients. The process begins with the careful preparation of the meat, cut into bite-sized pieces to ensure even cooking. "The key is to not overcook the liver," Jumyazov explains, "as it can become tough." The meat is then sautéed in oil until lightly browned. Onions, bell peppers, and tomatoes are added to create a rich and savory sauce. A final touch of chili pepper adds a welcome kick. The dish is cooked for approximately 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Fresh herbs are incorporated at the end for a burst of freshness. The result is a hearty and satisfying meal, perfect for a weeknight dinner. Jumyazov adds, "It's a dish that's been passed down through generations, and I'm happy to share it with you."
