Traditional Albanian Food

We found a traditional Albanian restaurant after our hike, and we ate:

Baked cottage cheese (from sheep milk, more sour than what we’re used to and taste a bit fermented) with bits of grilled red peppers – to be eaten with bread

Speça me gjize: red peppers stuffed with rice, tomato and cottage cheese, and fried rice balls with hints of mint and other spices (oregano maybe?).

The stuffed peppers and baked cottage cheese are really yummy, and vegetarian! Adding these two of our list of food to cook when we get back 🙂
