Kosovo

Albanian-Ottoman table of layered flija, phyllo pies, bean stews and syrup-drenched sweets. That is the short version of what Kosovo cooks. Look for Flia (layered batter crepes baked under embers, eaten with honey, yogurt), Pite (hand-stretched phyllo pie with cheese, spinach or pumpkin) and Qebapa (grilled minced-meat fingers with flatbread and onion). Batter baked in layers under a saç, each brushed on and cooked in turn, an Albanian highland dish of shared hospitality. This atlas has 32 Kosovo dishes catalogued below, from everyday cooking to food kept for festivals and special occasions.
