What it is

Albania's national dish: lamb baked in a tangy yogurt-and-egg custard until set and golden — tavë means the clay pan it cooks in. Ingredients: lamb shoulder, yogurt, eggs, rice flour or flour, butter, garlic, oregano, salt, nutmeg (optional). Recipe: 1) Roast or braise the lamb until tender with garlic and oregano. 2) Whisk yogurt with eggs and a little flour; season. 3) Pour over the lamb in the clay dish. 4) Bake until the custard sets and bronzes. Serve: hot from the tavë with bread and salad. Flavor: tangy, rich, gently sour creaminess over lamb. History: tavë kosi is tied to Elbasan, whose cooks are credited with perfecting it; it is the dish Albanians name first when asked for their own. See also: Byrek, Fërgesë.
