Onion Casserole (Tavë Qepë)
There are lots of Albanian casseroles to make such as
Lamb and Yogurt (Tavë Kosi), Beef and Leek (Tavë me Presh), Rabbit and Onion
(Cumlek lepuri) and also plenty of vegetable casseroles too (Gjelle Me
Zarzavata being a popular one).
This casserole is slow cooked, the beef falls apart
and the vegetables are soft and tender. I love making this in the slow cooker,
with the smell filling the house for the day.
