What it is

Tirana's baked skillet: peppers, tomatoes and cottage cheese (or liver, in the hearty version) baked in an earthenware tavë until bubbling and bronzed. Ingredients: sweet peppers (green and red), tomatoes, onions, gjizë cottage cheese, olive oil, garlic, chile, salt; the Tirana variant adds veal liver. Recipe: 1) Fry peppers and onions in olive oil. 2) Add tomatoes; cook into a thick sauce. 3) Fold in gjizë (and seared liver for fërgesë Tiranë). 4) Bake in clay until set at the edges. Serve: bubbling, with crusty bread — at lunch across the capital. Flavor: sweet peppers, tangy cheese, olive oil richness. History: fërgesë is Tirana's own, born in its home kitchens; the liver version carries the capital's name with pride. See also: Tavë Kosi, Byrek.
