Meat in Armenian lavash

30 minutes
Meat in Armenian lavash is a hearty and aromatic dish that combines rich flavors of meat and vegetables wrapped in crispy lavash. Its roots trace back to Russian culinary traditions but carry notes of Caucasian hospitality. The appetizing filling of three types of meat—beef, pork, and lamb—is complemented by juicy eggplants, carrots, and onions, creating a rich taste. The lavash soaked in the filling's juices turns golden after baking, acquiring a pleasant crunch. This dish is perfect for a cozy family dinner or a friendly gathering, and its versatility allows for experimentation with ingredients to highlight individual taste preferences.
