tüväru

Tüväru is a traditional dish from the Republic of Tuva, located in southern Siberia, Russia. It is a hearty stew made with mutton, often including other meats such as beef or horse meat, and a variety of vegetables. The dish is typically cooked in a large pot with a significant amount of water, allowing the ingredients to simmer together for an extended period. This slow cooking process helps to tenderize the meats and infuse the flavors of the vegetables.

The primary ingredients in tüväru include mutton, onions, carrots, potatoes, and sometimes cabbage or other root vegetables. The stew is often seasoned with salt and sometimes pepper, and may include additional herbs or spices depending on regional preferences. The dish is typically served with a side of flatbread or other traditional Tuva dishes.

Tüväru is a staple food in Tuva, reflecting the region's nomadic and semi-nomadic lifestyle. It is often prepared during festivals and celebrations, as well as for everyday meals. The dish is known for its rich, comforting flavors and is a symbol of Tuva's culinary heritage. Despite its traditional origins, tüväru has gained popularity beyond the region, with variations of the dish being prepared in other parts of Russia and even internationally.
