Luckily for us, the country also boasts one of the greatest snack foods in the world – the Samsa! What exactly is a Samsa? A Samsa is a light pastry that’s filled with meat such as lamb, beef or chicken, or sometimes vegetarian options such as cheese, potato, or pumpkin and is then baked in a traditional tandoor (Tandyr) oven. It’s closely related to the Indian Samosa, but the Uzbek variety is characterized by the use of cumin, both black and red pepper, and sesame seeds that give it a distinct flavor! Origins of this tasty treat! Samsa is the perfect traveling food – the recipe was perfected as an ideal food for traders making their long journey along the silk road. They can be eaten both warm and cold, and due to the pastry encasing the cooked meat, they tend to keep for up to a week!

The fact that they are so steeped in the country’s history makes them extra special for the people of Uzbekistan, and they’re still as popular as ever at parties and other special occasions, or simply as a lunchtime snack!
