A tangy, savory Armenian side dish that can be served warm, room temperature or cold. I first tried it at St. Mary’s Armenian Church in Florida at their food fest and became instantly hooked. It is a mixture of bulgur (cracked wheat), onions, tomatoes, peppers and parsley.
Well, without Chaimen, there would be no Basterma! I LOVE Basterma…It is so delicious. A real delicacy. Sliced very, very thin and eaten with The wonderful Armenian bread-Lavash. Can you tell I like Armenian food?? I can’t help it-It’s in my blood. Thanks to my Aunt Sophie!
Garlic and spices. If you wanted to use canned beans, heat them up and pour sauce on them so it will not take long to make, or frozen green beans will get you closer to fresh tasting.
