First attempt, Armenian dish

Armenian food was something I decided to cook this week. Before looking at the cookbook, I didn't know any ethnic foods that pertain to Armenians, but I was interested in finding out. I wanted to not just create a meal but also a drink to go along with it, a typical Armenian drink. Where is Armenia?

Overall, my consensus for these recipes: easy, not too many ingredients, and a nice aroma. Although being in the kitchen was hard to smell the nice exotic perfumes, I heard that it streamed outside and my Mom got a nice preview of the meal before coming in. :) I prepared this dish earlier than most dinners, around 4pm and allowed about an hour in a half to finish and have everything ready. Sometimes its nice to prepare dinner early, knowing that you have somewhere to be and then coming back home and you get to experience the pleasure of eating it too. I always like to listen to music while I cook, it can help if you're a little stressed or just to help distract you from the stinging sensation of onions.

This recipe goes along nicely with a side of baked onions and carrots with a splash of olive oil, as you can see from the pictures above. The yogurt drink, known as Tan added a nice touch to the overall meal. I think I would make this recipe again, or of course try another Armenian recipe. All the food looks delicious, and I would definately encourage anyone to try it!:) Till next time...
