Harissa is a traditional Armenian dish made by simmering whole wheat grains (usually korkot, or peeled wheat) with fatty cuts of lamb or chicken, slowly cooked together until they break down into a creamy, hearty porridge. It’s often stirred vigorously near the end to achieve its characteristic smooth, almost sticky texture.

Traditionally eaten during Easter, feast days, and communal charity events, Harissa symbolizes resilience and unity, and is closely associated with Musa Ler (Musa Dagh) and Armenian survival stories.
