Goldkeys Recipes	Tavë Kosi (Albanian National Dish)	Share
Description:	Of all the food I had in the Balkans during the 2022 trip, I loved Albanian food the most. Unfortunately, I didn’t get around to recording the best dishes so when I got home, I selected this one to try. The yogurt / egg topping makes the dish unique and it tastes great.
