Armenian Street Food with Chef Serge Madikians of Serevan

In this hands-on workshop Chef Serge Madikians of Serevan will share a classic Armenian dish from his travels in the place of his ancestors. On these trips Serge explored the joy of eating, including freshly cooked Jingalov Hats – literally, jungle bread – as it is loaded with foraged herbs and greens from the forests of Nagorno Kharabagh. It’s a remarkable dish in both its simplicity and intense flavor. Each student will learn how to roll out the dough and fill it with fresh herbs, then we cook and eat the jingalov hats together.

Menu to include:

• Jingalov Hats – An herb and green leaf-stuffed flat bread
• Hummus with a crisp salad of celery, radishes and herbs
• Sekenjebin – a refreshing warm weather Iranian beverage made with vinegar and herbs

This part hands-on/part demonstration workshop is limited to 10 people.
