How to Make Baked Lamb And Yogurt Albanian Name Tav Kosi
- Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F).
- Season lamb pieces generously with salt and pepper. Place half the butter (50g) in a large, oven-safe baking dish. Add lamb, ensuring they are coated with the butter.
- Bake for 30 minutes, basting occasionally with pan juices.
- Add the rice to the baking dish around the lamb.
- While the lamb and rice bake (for the remaining time), prepare the yogurt sauce: Melt the remaining butter (50g) in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, until lightly browned, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the yogurt, salt, pepper, and eggs until smooth and creamy.
- Gradually whisk the flour mixture into the yogurt mixture until fully combined.
- Pour the yogurt sauce over the lamb and rice in the baking dish.
- Return the baking dish to the oven and bake for a further 45 minutes, or until the lamb is tender and the rice is cooked through and creamy.
- Let the Tavë Kosi rest for 10 minutes before serving hot. Enjoy!
