Roast lamb heart
2 servings
30 minutes
Lamb heart stew is a true embodiment of Armenian culinary tradition, combining rich flavor, spicy notes, and tender texture. This dish has been prepared in Armenian homes for centuries, valued for its nourishment and unique taste. The heart, cut in a special way, reveals its juiciness when fried, while onion and garlic add aroma and a hint of sweetness. Cilantro refreshes the taste, creating a harmonious balance of spices and natural meat richness. The presentation is simple yet striking: hot, juicy stew where each piece seems infused with history and tradition. It pairs perfectly with Armenian lavash and a glass of tart red wine that highlights the depth of flavors.

Cut small onions into four parts and separate into petals. In a hot wok, heat a small amount of vegetable oil and quickly fry the hearts while stirring constantly.
