Mashkitchiri is a stew from Uzbekistan. The recipe is in Anya von Bremzen and John Welchman’s “Please to the Table,” p. 293. The fried fava beans, I learned, are a popular item in the markets in Karakol. I couldn’t find a recipe for them so I tried to soak them overnight and then deep fry and salt them. The texture didn’t seem right, but I don’t have a basis of comparison. The stew was great, and it benefited from the acidity of the salad.
