Pork Hashlama (Armenian Braised Meat and Vegetables)

Make meat the Armenian way. So good you'll lick your fingers! Hashlama is a wonderfully tasty dish! But if you're not a fan of the lamb it's traditionally made with, you can swap in pork — it comes out great. The only thing that takes time is the braising; everything else is a matter of minutes. Enjoy the cooking!

  • Cut up the vegetables: onion into half rings, carrot into rounds, bell pepper into half rings as well, eggplant into large chunks, mushrooms into thin slices, tomatoes into thin rounds, and the meat into serving pieces. In a heavy-bottomed pot, layer all the ingredients in this order: onion, carrot, bell pepper, meat, eggplant, mushrooms, tomatoes. You can repeat the layers, but the tomatoes must always be on top. Once you've added the meat, don't forget to season it with salt and pepper to taste. Braise the hashlama, covered, over low heat for two hours. There's no need to add water or broth — the vegetables release plenty of juice as they cook. Serve the hashlama hot, sprinkled with a little chopped fresh cilantro. Enjoy!
