Village Armenian Braised Fish Stew

Assemble the ingredients: fish, cinnamon, onion, black pepper, turmeric, olive oil, flour.

Warm oil in a heavy pot. Add the fish and cook until braised.

Stir in the aromatics and spices — the backbone of Armenian flavors.

Add the remaining ingredients and cook gently, stirring occasionally, until tender.

Taste and adjust seasoning; the flavor should deepen as it cooks.

Plate and serve with traditional Armenian accompaniments such as bread, rice, or fresh herbs.
