Eetch

Eetch

Eetch, otherwise known as eech, itch, metch, or one of several other variations), is a traditional Armenian side dish made principally from bulgur. It is somewhat similar to tabbouleh but much thicker and grainier (with far less parsley), and not as tangy. The color is red from crushed or pureed tomatoes. Common additional ingredients include onion, parsley, olive oil, lemon, paprika, and bell peppers. Eetch can be eaten cold or warm. A similar dish is known as kısır in Turkey and used as a meze. Eetch is colloquially known as mock kheyma, due to its characteristics as a vegetarian form of kheyma.
