What it is
A refreshing and savory Armenian dip or spread made from a blend of fresh, crumbly cheese (similar to farmer's cheese or ricotta) combined with a generous amount of finely chopped fresh herbs such as parsley, dill, mint, and cilantro. It’s seasoned with salt, black pepper, and sometimes a hint of garlic, often finished with a drizzle of olive oil.
Key ingredients
Fresh farmer's cheese (or similar unsalted cheese), parsley, dill, mint, cilantro, garlic (optional), salt, black pepper, olive oil.
Optional tweaks
Ensure the cheese is unsweetened and full-fat. Confirm no bread or crackers are served with it; request vegetable sticks if needed, or simply enjoy as is.
Watch out for
None inherent. Risk of high-carb accompaniments (bread, crackers). Some trace carbs from herbs and dairy.
