Armenian okroshka or matsnabrdosh is a very tasty, aromatic dish that ideally quenches thirst and hunger on hot summer days.
Matsun, or matsoni, is best bought at the market, but sometimes in stores you can find a product that is quite decent in taste and quality. If you manage to buy good quality matsun, be sure to try making Armenian okroshka, you will definitely like it.
Unlike the traditional Russian okroshka we are used to, matsnabrdosh is not eaten with a spoon (although this dish belongs to soups), but is often served in glasses and drunk, sometimes without adding cucumber. There are options with the addition of garlic and tarragon, and basil is also often added. In general, try all the options, each of them deserves attention and tastes very good.
To prepare okroshka in Armenian style, prepare the ingredients according to the list. Wash cucumbers, onions and aromatic herbs under running water and dry. In Auchan, matsun is now sold in this chic pot, which can then be used in the kitchen.
