Hashlama of lamb in Armenian

Very tasty mixture! It's impossible to stop until you eat everything! Hashlama is a Caucasian lamb dish, which has recently become known everywhere. It is noteworthy that the taste of this food will not spoil, even if you replace lamb with beef, pork or even chicken meat. Today we will cook hashlama according to a traditional Armenian culinary recipe - from lamb. This dish is perfect for any festive table! But before we get to the cooking process itself, I want to tell you how to choose the right lamb for hashlama. After all, the taste of lamb meat largely depends on the age of the animal. Young mutton is distinguished by the light red color of the meat and white fat, and the meat of adult animals is brick-red in color and significant accumulations of white fat.

So, now that the lamb is selected, let's move on to cooking.
Wash the young lamb meat thoroughly and dry it on a napkin. Cut it into thin strips and set aside for now. Take the onion, peel it and cut it into thin rings. Cut two large tomatoes into rings, and Bulgarian pepper and green apple into small pieces of the same size.
Take a medium-sized saucepan with a reinforced bottom and put the meat on the bottom. Place the onion on top, then the tomatoes, apple and pepper. Season the contents of the pan with salt and pepper to taste and add the pre-chopped garlic.
Pour enough water into the pan so that it covers all the ingredients. After that, simmer hashlama on medium heat for 2-3 hours. Be sure to monitor the water level in the pan and as it evaporates, top it up to the desired level.
When the dish is ready, put it in a deep dish and garnish with sprigs of cilantro and basil. Bon appetit!
