Ingredient appreciation — what makes Khorovats special

What sets Khorovats apart is the handling of tarragon. In lesser versions this is treated as a background note. Here it's central and the rich from slow-cooked lamb result shows it. I've started buying it to cook with at home after this experience.

the Armenian genocide shaped diaspora communities who carried the cuisine globally. The an Armenian diaspora community event atmosphere was right for this kind of food. I had pomegranate wine as recommended and it matched well. If you want to understand what makes this cuisine distinctive, Khorovats is the place to start.
