Baked Lamb and Yogurt (Albanian Name: Tavë Kosi)
A delicious recipe that is great for family gatherings. This is one variation of it, there are several.
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.
Noni Afghani (Afghan Bread)
Wonderful and easy bread – Afghan style. I fell in love with this at my favorite restaurant, Kabul, in Madison, WI. They have the most amazing bread ever. This is a good close approximation. Posting for my DD who also loves this one!
Afghan Rice Pilaf With Chicken and Yogurt – Bor Pilau
This recipe comes from Helen Saberi’s book – The Afghan Food & Cookery. Pilaf or pilau is a classic Afghan dish. The use of yogurt is also classic and it makes a delicious sauce. Ground red pepper is commonly found in North African & some Asian dishes, if you cannot find it use hot paprika or a mix of regular paprika with a little cayenne added.
