Khashlama on beer

Khashlama is an incredibly tasty Armenian dish, which is served to the table as the main first course. It is prepared mainly from lamb (less often – from veal) with vegetables. Armenian cuisine is one of the oldest in Asia and the oldest in Transcaucasia.

It is very tasty, fragrant and satisfying dish. It is prepared with minimal effort: it is necessary to lay all the ingredients in a saucepan and cook over low heat for a long time. No control and mixing! The meat turns out wonderful – gentle, soft, with a slight smell of malt, the vegetables remain intact, just melt in the mouth. During the preparation of beer alcohol will evaporate and leave behind only a pleasant trace – an amazing taste.
