Artsakh Recipes

Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) cuisine represents a mountain culinary tradition shaped by the rugged terrain and forested highlands of the region. The cuisine is known for zhingalov hats, a flatbread stuffed with dozens of wild herbs and greens, which is the region's most iconic dish. Mulberry-based foods, wild game, foraged plants, and hearty stews reflect the self-sufficient mountain lifestyle. The cooking is rustic, seasonal, and deeply connected to the land.
