Armenian Harissa

Cultural Context

Harissa, a traditional Armenian dish, has roots in the Middle Ages, often prepared for special occasions and family gatherings. It symbolizes hospitality and is a staple during religious holidays, especially during Lent. Modern variations may include different meats or spices, reflecting regional adaptations and personal preferences, but the essence of slow-cooked wheat and meat remains central to its identity.
