Kchuch

(կճուճ)

Kchuch is a type of Armenian meat and vegetable stew prepared in a traditional Armenian clay pot known as kchuch, from which it gets its name. It typically consists of a combination of seasoned chunks of lamb meat, chopped vegetables such as onions, potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, and eggplants, along with garlic, spices, and herbs, all drizzled with some robust Armenian wine.


The ingredients are then added to a clay pot and slowly cooked in the oven. This one-pot dish is eaten hot with the traditional lavash flatbread, and it is usually served in the pot in which it has been prepared.
