Why Harissa deserves more attention

Harissa rarely gets the international recognition it deserves. The rich from slow-cooked lamb complexity is genuine, not simple, and the technique involved in using madzoon yoghurt correctly takes real skill.

the Armenian genocide shaped diaspora communities who carried the cuisine globally. I encountered it first in an Armenian diaspora community event and that context helped me understand it properly. Armenian brandy is the natural accompaniment and the combination makes the case for the dish. If you haven't explored this cuisine seriously, Harissa is the dish to start with.
