Armenian cuisine is one of the oldest in Asia and is characterized by the use of fresh ingredients, aromatic herbs, vegetables, legumes and, of course, lavash bread. With dishes that have been cooked for centuries, the food is a pillar of hospitality and a celebration of the country's fertile land.
Armenian barbecue, a social ritual as much as a dish. It consists of large pieces of meat (pork, lamb or chicken) marinated and skewered on skewers ('shampoors'), often interspersed with vegetables. It is slowly grilled and is the king of any celebration.
An iconic dish consisting of grape leaves (or vegetables such as peppers, tomatoes and eggplants) stuffed with a mixture of minced meat, rice, herbs and spices. They are cooked slowly and often served with garlic 'matsun' (Armenian yogurt).
A comforting, thick porridge made of peeled wheat ('korkot') and chicken or lamb meat, cooked over very low heat for hours until both ingredients melt into a homogeneous paste. It is a dish with a great symbolic load, especially commemorative.
A festive and visually spectacular dish. It is a pumpkin emptied and stuffed with boiled rice, nuts (such as almonds and raisins), apples and honey. It is baked until the pumpkin is tender and served in slices. There is even a popular song about him ('Hey Jan Ghapama').
A creamy soup based on 'matsun' (yogurt), wheat grains and fresh herbs, mainly cilantro. It can be served hot in winter or cold in summer, being very refreshing and digestive.
More than a dish, it is a winter ritual. A soup made from cow's trotters cooked overnight, traditionally eaten early in the morning, without seasonings, just with salt and minced garlic to taste and accompanied by dry lavash and vodka. It is said to cure all ills.
Armenian 'cognac' is national pride. With a history dating back to the late 19th century, it is famous all over the world. It is said that it was Winston Churchill's favorite drink. Visiting a distillery in Yerevan for a tasting is an essential experience.
Homemade or commercial spirits distilled from various fruits. The most famous is 'tsirani oghi', made from apricot, the national fruit, but blackberry, grape and plum ones are also popular.
A refreshing and healthy drink made from 'matsun' (yogurt) diluted with water and a pinch of salt. It is similar to ayran and perfect to accompany hearty meals or to quench thirst in summer.
Strong, thick and aromatic, the coffee is prepared in a 'jazzve' (a long-handled copper coffee pot). It is served in small cups and is often used to read fortunes on the grounds left at the bottom.
A sweet cake or bread with a texture between flaky and buttery. There are many regional varieties, but the most common is round and decorated. It often has a sweet filling called 'khoriz'. It is tradition to bake a coin inside on New Year's Eve to give luck to whoever finds it.
The Armenian version of baklava. It consists of thin layers of filo dough filled with chopped nuts and spices, all bathed in honey or a sugar syrup. It is often cut in the shape of diamonds.
A traditional dried fruit dessert. Generally peaches or figs are used, which are hollowed out, filled with a mixture of ground nuts and sugar and dried again.
A very popular energy sweet, often called 'the Armenian snickers'. It consists of rows of nuts strung on a thread that are repeatedly dipped in a thickened grape must or fruit juice until they form a thick layer. Then it is left to dry.
