Armenian eetch served as a side dish at a restaurant in Yerevan

Eetch (otherwise known as eech, itch, metch or one of several other variations) is a traditional Armenian side dish, salad or spread, similar to tabbouleh.[1] [2] Eetch can be eaten either at room temperature or warm.

Its typical red colour is derived from crushed or pureed tomatoes. Common additional ingredients include onion, parsley, olive oil, lemon, paprika, and bell peppers.[3]

Eetch is colloquially known as mock kheyma due to its characteristics as a vegetarian form of kheyma.[1]
