Losh Kebab – an Armenian Hamburger Recipe

One of our go-to recipes is good-old losh kebab – an Armenian ‘hamburger’ which is much like lule kebab.

‘Lule’ means ‘rolled’ and clearly refers to its sausage shape. Losh kebab generally uses the same meat mixture recipe as lule kebabs; the only difference is that Losh kebabs are shaped like traditional hamburgers.

Losh kebab is particularly popular with Armenians in New England, however, as New Englanders settled in other areas, their losh kebab recipe and popularity traveled with them.

In 2012, Tom Vartabedian, a dear departed friend from New England, wrote this article for The Armenian Weekly singing the praises of losh kebab.
