A FOOD TRADITION

Artsakh Cuisine

Artsakh cuisine refers to a regional Armenian food tradition associated with Artsakh and the adjoining eastern Armenian cultural sphere, while many dishes and methods are shared with parts of eastern Armenia and the South Caucasus. Staples include wheat and bulgur, lamb, beef, dairy, herbs, beans, walnuts, orchard fruit and wild greens. Cooking often involves wood-fired baking, grilling, slow simmering, drying and stuffing vegetables or doughs. Commonly cited examples include jingalov hats, kurkut and khashlama, alongside regional varieties of dolma, khorovats and soups. Because the area has a contested political status and a mixed historical context, catalogue wording should distinguish culinary association from exclusive territorial or national claims.
