Eetch, otherwise known as Eech or metch (or one of several other variations), is a traitional Armenian side dish made from bulgur (parboiled cracked wheat). It is somewhat similar to tabbouleh but much thicker and grainier (with far less parsley), and not as tangy. The color is red from crushed or pureed tomatoes. Common additional ingredients include onion, parsley, olive oil, lemon, paprika, and bell peppers. Eetch can be eaten cold or warm. A similar dish is known as kısır in Turkey and used as a meze.
