[I asked Bennett to explain the reference in this post.]
“Monti” (not sure of the spelling) is an Armenian dish that is made with a ground lamb mixture with parsley and onion, small balls baked with a pasta “cover” – open at the tops. Basically, an Armenian ravioli.
Served in a beef broth with a shake of hot sauce in it. A small bowl on the side of lemon, yogurt and parsley is used as a dipping sauce.
Kids wanted this for Thanksgiving dinner one year.

Oh wow…was this delicious? I have never, ever, heard of the Armenian Monti. Or tried something like it. Although in my town there is lots of kufta – large beef balls mixed with onions and boiled…
