Armenian food

[felizitation]

Every body knows me for my stupid threads/pointless posts, but i'm hungry now.





Here is the point:
I'm living alone since 7 years now, I love armenian food, my father is a cook (and i'm proud of him) ...

but i really suck on coocking
I tried to cook beurek once, would certainly have been great if the beurek itself was not sinking in the butter.



Post here your recipes of armenian food. It can be dessert too.
Here is an easy one: Keufte

What you need
- 75% beef, 25% lamb. You can also do it with only beef, then take it a little fatter (15% or 20% fat). I eat a lot of meat, so for you, 500g would be enough for 4 ppl
- onion (2)
- if you like it: cumin (not that much)
- salt, pepper. Check it during the preparation
- egg (one should be enough)
- parsley (not that much)
- a secret (mmm ...)

Preparation:
- Put everything in a big "cup", and mix it with your hands (such a good feeling). I don't know how to do it in the oven, I just cook it in the saucepan.

You can also suggest me some things to improve my keufte.

i dont know if this is armenian or russian..but my mom makes it all the time..and it's my favorite salad in the world...i'm starting to make it more often then my roomate would like me to..hehehe

i think it is translated as "Table Salad."

what you need:
-potatoes (4 or 5)
-carrots (3 or 4)
-eggs (3 or 4 or 5)
-reddish (maybe 6)
-green onions (5)
-pickles (3)
-cucumbers (3)
-parsley (it can be either the regular or italian)
-mayonnaise
-sour cream
-salt and pepper
-and a little spice called 'love'

boil the potatoes, carrots, and eggs in water, it depends on how much you have in the pot but make sure the potatoes and carrots are soft before you take them out (but not too soft). and the eggs should be taken out 10 minutes after it starts boiling.

while your waiting for the potatoes, carrots and eggs to boil start chopping the reddish, onions, pickles, cucumbers, and parsley into small pieces, you dont want it too be too small but at the same time you dont want it to be chunky

after the potatoes, carrots, and eggs are boiled peel the potatoes, carrots, and eggs and chop those up too, mix everything you have chopped into one bowl. add the mayo and sour cream. more mayo then sour cream. mix it with the salad , but dont put too much mayo b/c then it gets to watery...and salt and pepper while your mixing it...and you've got yourself some good salad

if you want to know more detailed info (as if this wasn't detailed enough) just ask

oh..and dont forget the most important ingredient....love

The mental image of a guy kneading kufte is too much.

Inna, r u talking about Alivye(the salad). Hmmm, kind of sounded like it, except for the onions part...then again, ppl do make it differently. i love Alivye btw. Best salad ever.

Haha, Inna, it took me a second or two after I read the ingredients to realize that you meant "Stolichnih Salat" ---> "Table Salad".

Why you rolling your eyes? It's neither good or bad. It's a laugh-at-him-because-he's-doing-something-I've-only-seen-old-women-do "too much".
