Chaimen- an Armenian Spice Rub! (Use for Basterma) image

Well, without Chaimen, there would be no Basterma! I LOVE Basterma...It is so delicious. A real delicacy. Sliced very, very thin and eaten with The wonderful Armenian bread-Lavash. Can you tell I like Armenian food?? I can't help it-It's in my blood. Thanks to my Aunt Sophie!

The chaimen gave my basterma a nice flavor, but I think I would have liked it more if I had used less of it.

I found the chaimen to be a bit too salty for my taste, but overall it was a good spice rub.

Chaimen is a unique and flavorful spice rub that adds a delicious depth of flavor to basterma. I used it on a flank steak and the results were amazing. The meat was tender and juicy, with a slightly smoky and tangy flavor.
