Armenian khash

Original, nutritious, high-calorie, healthy! Khash is a traditional liquid hot dish of Caucasian cuisine. In ancient times, it was cooked after a sacrifice to the Gods. After butchering the cattle, the legs and entrails were given to the common people; the poor people made a rich, satisfying and very tasty soup from this.

  1. STEP 1

    STEP 1

    How to cook Armenian khash? First, prepare the beef legs. They need to be singed, washed thoroughly and chopped into portioned pieces so that they can easily fit into the pan in which the khash will be cooked.

  2. STEP 2

    STEP 2

    Place the legs in a deep container and fill with cold water. It is better if you use ice water.

  3. STEP 3

    STEP 3

    You need to soak the legs for about a day. During this time, periodically change the water with new water approximately every 2-3 hours. Wash the beef legs well again and place in the pan. Fill with cold water so that it covers the legs by 15-20 centimeters and place on the stove over high heat.

  4. STEP 4

    STEP 4

    After boiling, remove the foam, reduce the heat to low, cover the pan with a lid and leave to cook for 8 hours. The broth in the pan should not boil intensely, but only gurgle slightly. No salt or pepper is added to the pan while cooking the beef legs.

  5. STEP 5

    STEP 5

    After the allotted time, remove the legs from the broth. Cool them slightly, then separate the meat from the bones. Cut or tear the beef into arbitrary pieces by hand. This can be done very easily and without much difficulty. Strain the broth itself through a fine sieve.

  6. STEP 6

    STEP 6

    Add dry herbs to the broth to taste. I added parsley, marjoram and just a little dry dill.

  7. STEP 7

Hearty soup. Beef khasha is traditionally served with unpickled cheese and radish salad.

Good evening 🌺 How did you wash your feet so white?? I scraped it with a knife, washed it with soap, soaked it for a day and still feel the burnt aroma😭 I brought it to a boil and drained the water and changed it to clean. And she repeated the procedure again. I boiled it for 8 hours, but I could still smell the smell of burnt feet ((
