Home cooking attempt — Lahmajoun from scratch
I spent an afternoon making Lahmajoun from scratch following a traditional recipe. Getting tarragon right was the main challenge — it's not as straightforward as it looks. The warmly herbal result was rewarding once I got it right.
Armenia claims the world's oldest winery dating to 4100 BC and has a deep wine-making heritage. I served it with Armenian brandy as the recipe suggested and the pairing made sense. It took longer than I expected but the outcome was genuinely satisfying. Making Lahmajoun yourself gives you a new appreciation for what goes into it at a restaurant.
