A CLOSER TASTE
About the dish
Tomatoes and red onion meet qurt in a salad that the menu connects with Uzbek tradition. It offers a local accent among the different cooking styles at METIS. Adjust the ratio of tomato, onion and qurt in each bite to find the combination you enjoy.
Flavour and serving
Qurt is the main distinction from a simple tomato-and-onion plate. Taste the vegetable base first, then add a little qurt to compare the two impressions.
For a comparison of local products, add farm vegetables with suzma. Qurt provides the dairy accent in one plate and suzma in the other, and both can accompany grilled meat. Vary the tomato-to-onion ratio: a tomato-led bite, one with onion, and then one with qurt. A simple composition offers three different impressions.
What to try alongside
Place this salad alongside charcoal-grilled dishes. To explore another local dairy accompaniment, add the vegetable plate with suzma.
