Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Flatbreads filled with greens (Jingalov hats)

    • eliza on June 09, 2022

      These breads are quite easy and fairly quick to make. The note above is incorrect; they don’t need to be started a day ahead, just make sure your herb mixture is not too wet. The dough is mixed first so it has time to rest while the greens are chopped. I found the dough way too wet and had to add extra flour to make a workable dough. I ended up having enough greens to make 2 of the hats and included chard, basil, dill, kale, green onion, and spearmint in my herb mixture. Mine took a bit longer to cook, but I think that would improve when I make my next batch. The extra dough will probably be used to make some seeded flatbread. Very tasty and a great way to use lots of greens from the garden.

  • Grilled eggplant and tomato salad (Khorovats salad)

    • mjes on August 06, 2021

      Roasted eggplant and tomatoes as a salad. I left out the dill and am considering what I would like substituted for it. Definitely will be repeating, especially since it seems to store well.

  • “Armenian pizza” topped with ground meat (Lahmajo]

    • mjes on August 29, 2021

      Lahmajo is very similar to a Kurdish pizza I learned in a cooking class. Flavors added to the lamb or beef are tomato, red pepper, onion, parsley, sweet paprika, cumin, pepper flakes, mint, and lemon which results in a mild flavor, a bit milder than the Kurdish version. An excellent recipe that should be a standard.

  • Summer salad

    • mjes on August 29, 2021

      Summer salad is a simple tomato-cucumber-onion salad seasoned with cilantro, dill and a simple vinaigrette. Quick and tasty.

With growing interest in fermentation and the medical benefits of a Mediterranean diet, Armenian food offers a new take on healthful deliciousness. It combines the best flavors and techniques of Mediterranean and central European cuisines into fresh and satisfying dishes, served with plenty of pickles, sides, and the soft, ubiquitous bread known as lavash. An ode to Armenian food and culture, Lavash is part cookbook, part travelogue, and part lookbook of tempting food and revealing atmospheric photography. More than 60 recipes—arranged by course—cover authentic breads and everything you eat with them, from soups and salads to mains and sweets. For both armchair travelers and home cooks, here's a book as enticing in the reading as its recipes are to the palate.
