Chef Ara Zada cooks “Armenian Mac & cheese”

American chef of Armenian origin Ara Zada posted a video where he was cooking the Armenian dish, Panr Khash. He called it – Armenian Mac & cheese.

In the video, Ara showed how one can prepare a delicious dish with the cheapest ingredients – lavash, onion, cheese and butter.

“Panr Khash is the equivalent of Armenian Mac & cheese. Just using lavash instead of macaroni. Some might call it an Armenian quesadilla but that’s debatable. Anyway you slice it this recipe is so easy and delicious you won’t be disappointed. It’s the ultimate comfort food that we learned from Gyumri,” Ara Zada said.

For Armenian Mac & cheese you will need: 2 sheets lavash, diced; 2 cups shredded string cheese; ½ onion diced; 3 tb butter; ¾ cup boiling water.

Layer diced lavash and cheese in an oven proof bowl, sauté onion in butter, put to the bowl with butter onions and fill with boiling water, top with sheet of buttered lavash, cook in 45 oven for 10-15 minutes.
