Tavë kosi

Tavë kosi ("soured milk casserole") is a national dish in Albania. It is a dish of lamb (occasionally chicken, then called tavë kosi me mish pule) and rice baked with a mixture of yogurt and eggs (replacing the original soured milk) added to a roux (wheat flour and butter).[1] It is typically seasoned with salt, pepper, garlic and oregano.[2] The dish is also popular in Greece, North Macedonia, Kosovo and Turkey, where it is known as Elbasan tava (Albanian: Tavë Elbasani or Tava e Elbasanit), named after the Albanian city of Elbasan.
