Eetch (Armenian: Էտչ) 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.

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

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]
