Common card · No. 336463

Tavë kosi ("yogurt casserole"), also known as Tavë Elbasani, is a traditional Albanian baked dish consisting of mutton and rice covered with a mixture of yogurt, eggs, butter and flour before being baked in the oven. Chicken may be used as an alternative to mutton, in which case the dish is known as "tavë kosi me mish pule". It is commonly seasoned with ingredients such as salt, black pepper, garlic and oregano. Thought to originate from the city of Elbasan, tavë kosi is regarded as one of the national dishes of Albania. The dish is also popular in neighboring countries, including Greece, Kosovo, North Macedonia and Turkey, where it is commonly known as "Elbasan tava", a name derived from its place of origin.
