The recipe “damlama dimlyama domlama dumlama domlama dimlyama Uzbek” has such a funny name that it couldn’t go unnoticed by me. I just had all the ingredients needed for cooking, and I had white eggplants and yellow tomatoes. The pans were not suitable for this dish, so I had to take out an old huge cauldron and compact all the layers of vegetables in it (in the process the vegetables were boiled down by about a third). I poured a little vegetable oil on the bottom just in case. I laid out the ribs and pieces of beef, then all the layers according to the recipe. I only had a quarter of a head of cabbage; it was no longer possible to separate it into leaves, so I chopped it and placed the shredded cabbage on top. The cooking process reminds me very much of a slow cooker - there is no need to stir anything, you just need to turn off the stove in a timely manner. In three hours, the vegetables became very boiled, but the beef in the vegetable coat became extremely tender!! A very interesting dish, I will cook it sometimes for variety. Thanks for the recipe!

A good recipe for a busy housewife. The only pity is that after three hours of cooking there is nothing useful left. Although, for sure, after a long languor, the vegetables are saturated with each other’s flavors and delight the eaters.

It's very, very tasty!!! I tried it, but I didn’t cook it myself. Now I have the recipe! Thank you, IrenDV, very much!!! The recipe is wonderful - meat with lots of vegetables. Minimum hassle: cut everything, put it in a cauldron in layers, put it on the stove and... forgot for 3 hours. I love recipes like this!

I share my impressions of your recipe. We are sitting at the moment, humming, praising. I really liked the recipe, it’s an interesting way of cooking - I cut it, put it in, boiled it and forgot for three hours (I managed to get enough sleep. However, I had lamb, not beef, and I didn’t have peppers and eggplant at home. I added frozen dill from greens, frozen cilantro, dried - my favorite oregano (oregano). The result is amazing. This is the first time I’ve cooked cabbage in this form - not shredded, but in layers. Thank you very much for the recipe.
