Ker u sus is a fragrant and hearty dish of Armenian cuisine that combines the simplicity of ingredients with depth of flavor. Its name translates to 'Eat and be silent,' reflecting the rich taste that needs no extra words. Potatoes fried to a golden crust are mixed with tender, juicy beef that has been boiled and lightly sautéed with onions. The onion adds a sweet note while the spices provide a mild heat. All components come together in a final stew, allowing the flavors to become rich and harmonious. This dish is perfect for a cozy family dinner, especially when sprinkled with fresh herbs. Ker u sus is not just food but a culinary delight that conveys the warmth of Armenian hospitality.
