Hi everyone

Has anyone eaten a 'flower dish' (Gül' Tavaq) in Xinjiang?

If anyone has a recipe I'd be really grateful!

Thanks

Carelessly translated on the fly from
<http://forum.uyghurlar.biz/index.php?showtopic=164>:

Take vegetables - depending on the season, these can be black radish,
tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, beans, string beans, garden radish,
cabbage, carrots and so on. Chop fairly finely, being creative with the
resulting shapes. Vegetables can be raw, boiled, or fried. It goes
without saying that herbs are added. Dress with vinegar and clarified
butter. Add to taste fairly finely chopped meats, as well as spices.
Arrange on the platter, paying attention to the colour range: for
example, purple onions alongside orange carrots placed near green-white
cabbage. The result is a dish resembling a flower made of multicoloured
petals. Everything is in your hands and depends on your imagination.
