Vegetarian Albanian Leek Casserole (Tave Me Presh)
This is a vegetarian version of a traditional Albanian dish. It makes a tasty side and is delicious served with yogurt, which is commonly eaten in Albanian meals. You can use any mushrooms you want, but the stronger tasting ones are better. Spice to taste, I like more red pepper than the Albanians probably do. Adapted from 20 Albanian Recipes and submitted for My Food Odyssey.
Albanian Cornbread – Pite
Courtesy of globaltableadventures.com, as adapted from “Home Cooking Around the World” by David Ricketts and Mark Thomas. This bread is a great accompaniment to stews. It is excellent warm, but can dry out, so try to use up promptly or store well-wrapped.
Salaata (Afghan Salad)
A popular salad in Afghanistan, it’s made up of tomatoes, onion, cucumbers, radishes, lemon, cilantro and salt. I like to add just a little drizzle of honey in the dressing.From Afghan cooking.
Afghan Mushroom Qorma(Korma)
Qormas are very popular among Afghan people. Onions are fried and meats, fruits, spices or vegetables are added to them. This is a vegetarian version, actually it’s vegan! From squidoo.
