📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Qozon kabob is made in the qozon, the round-bottomed iron pot that's a must in Uzbek kitchens. Bone-in meat is cooked in plenty of oil, large chunks of potato are pan-fried in the same pot, and it's all topped with onion and cumin. It's piled high on a big platter at outdoor feasts and family gatherings.

🌆 Where it's eaten: In the garden of a dacha outside the city, meat and potatoes are lifted from a big iron pot over charcoal, topped with sliced onion, and carried to the guests.
