Aveluk snack with matsun

An original Armenian-style snack for a festive feast! Do you think that there is something new and unusual to cook for the festive table? I also asked myself this question and found such an original recipe for a traditional Armenian dish. Aveluk is wild (horse) sorrel, pre-dried in braids. During the drying process, it undergoes fermentation, losing bitterness, but at the same time acquiring an interesting and peculiar taste. Try a salad of boiled aveluk, seasoned with a sauce based on matsuna (matsoni). It's delicious!
