Extra, I put it in the cookbook. Ask Azat where it is, or look for "karmir plaf".

 

Right here:

Bloody hell, I gave you the easiest recipe to make it. With your cooking skills, you should be able to make something excellent out of it! So no more complaining! It's the easiest dish ever!!!!!!!! Especially if you know how to make rice... Okay that was bad... Mine turns out bad half the time (not enough water, too much water, not enough salt, too much salt, burnt underneath, that sort of thing).

Here we go Maral jan

 

1 cup of white flour.

Pinch of salt

1 stick of butter

1/2+ cup of sugar

small amount of granulated/powder sugar

 

Slowly roast the flour in a medium size skillet. Add the pinch of salt. Bring the flower to a medium brown color.(the whole house would stink bu this time.

 

Start adding the butter at this time(when the flour is brown already. Divide the stick to 8 parts and ad one part at a time and mix. You will get a paste. mix constantly so that you do not get any lumps in it.

 

Right after the butter add the sugar to taste. Minimum 1/2 cup.

 

spread the mixture in a flat plate to cool. but before it is completely cool cut the halva into diamond serving sizes.

 

Serve when cool. sprinkle some powder sugar on top prior to serving.

 

Maral jan please do not invite me to eat this stuff.

How come no one mentioned Mant@!!! I guess it is not exclusively Armenian, but the Armenian version is the best, having tried the Russian and Italian version. In Russian it is known as Pelmeni, and in Italian Ravioli, however there are so many different recipes that it looks as if it is different type of meal. Russians in Siberia use to keep the little pieces of row beef meat rapped in dough in the snow.

 

Also you can use different type of sauces, - béarnaise for example. I personally prefer yogurt with lots of garlic...hmmm! :P

I made this today!!! It was so yum yum.

 

12 fresh white button mushrooms, brushed clean

1 tablespoon olive oil

3 tablespoons minced shallots (about 2 large shallots)

2 cloves garlic, minced

3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro leaves

1 lemon, juiced

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

4 ounces smoked mozzarella, cut into 12 (1/2-inch) cubes

1 spray olive oil cooking spray

3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley leaves

 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Remove stems from button mushrooms and set aside mushroom caps. Finely chop the stems. In a nonstick 10-inch saute pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the shallots and saute until translucent, about 1 1/2 minutes. Add the garlic and mushroom stems to the shallots and continue to saute until soft, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and fold in cilantro and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

 

Place mushroom caps on a nonstick baking sheet with the hollow sides facing up. Place 1 mozzarella cube in each cap and cover with 1/2 teaspoon of the shallot mixture. Lightly spray the caps once with olive oil cooking spray. Bake for 10 minutes or until cheese is melted and mushrooms are golden brown. Remove from oven, sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve warm.

Extra, I've tried that. It's really good! I just have to learn to make it myself now... Just like Azat's eggplant yoghurt! I tried it once and screwed up very badly. I've simplified it since and just fry eggplant, pour yoghurt over it, salt, pepper, garlic powder to taste and finito :) Very good!! Can't wait to taste the original though..
