Albanian Stewed Green Beans and Potatoes With Smokey Seitan
In the heart of the Mediterranean, on the Adriatic and Ionian Seas, Albania is fast becoming one of the world’s most interesting getaways. Still relatively unspoiled by globalization, an inspiring mixture of civilizations and cultures – making this European country truly unique. This Stewed Green Bean recipe is a great flavorful way to use green beans! The recipe makes enough for two hungry people, so if you have more people at home double the recipe. The recipe uses three tablespoons of olive oil so if you want to make this lower fat feel free to reduce some of the oil. You can replace the seitan with storebought “beef” or “chicken” chunks, or even veggie crumbles. Taken directly from the Vegan Foodie.
Albanian Spinach Pie (Byrek Me Spinaq or Pite)

If the additional vegetables used will be watery, towards the end of baking you might want to cut steam vents in the filo dough. Albanians eat this pie hot accompanied by buttermilk or beaten yogurt thinned down with cold water, or with chilled stewed prunes.
Baked Lamb and Yogurt (Albanian Name: Tavë Kosi)
