Shirin Qatoq!

Shirin Qatoq, also known as Sweet Stew or Sweet Plum Stew, is a delightful dish for those who have a sweet tooth and enjoy the combination of honey and sugar with various flavors. If you appreciate both sweet and sour tastes, don’t worry—you can either replace the plums with your favorite ones or include both plums and Qeisi; the choice is yours! Staying true to the original recipe, let’s take a look at how Shirin Qatoq is prepared:

Cooking instructions:

Massage the chicken pieces with salt and turmeric, then fry them until fully browned. Finely chop a medium-sized onion and a few cloves of garlic, add them to the pan, and sauté for a few minutes.

Remember, there’s no need to add water! Close the lid of the pan and let it simmer over low heat for about an hour.

Sauté raisins and Qeisi in another pan, and in the last ten minutes of cooking, add them to the chicken. Pour in a few tablespoons of infused saffron, and you’re done! That’s how easy it is! Shirin Qatoq is served with rice, but it’s also very delicious on its own as a dish. Enjoy your meal!
