What it is
The Armenian grill: skewers of marinated pork, lamb or chicken over open coals, wrapped in lavash with onions and herbs — khorovats is both dish and ritual. Ingredients: pork neck or lamb, onions (much), salt, black pepper, dried basil or thyme, mineral water (a marinade trick), lavash, sumac onions, grilled tomatoes and peppers. Recipe: 1) Marinate meat with onions and spices for hours. 2) Skewer with space between pieces. 3) Grill over charcoal, turning, until charred at the edges. 4) Rest the skewers on lavash so the bread drinks the juices. Serve: with sumac-onion salad and grilled vegetables; the grill master (varpet) is honoured at the table. Flavor: smoke, onion sweetness, clean meat. History: grilling in Armenia is as old as its mountains — the khorovats gathering is the centre of Armenian hospitality, with whole festivals devoted to it. See also: Tolma, Lavash.
