The process of making basturma involves marinating the beef in a mixture of garlic, cayenne pepper, paprika, and other secret spices, before drying and ageing it for several weeks. The result is a tender, flavorful meat that’s perfect for snacking on its own or adding to sandwiches and salads.

In Armenia, basturma is a beloved staple and an integral part of their culinary heritage. It’s often enjoyed with a side of fresh bread, cheese, and pickles. Trust me, once you try it, you’ll be hooked! So if you ever find yourself in Armenia, make sure to seek out some authentic basturma and indulge in the incredible flavours of this mouthwatering delight.
