kushtuara
Kushtuara is a traditional dish from the Balkans, particularly popular in Albania, Kosovo, and North Macedonia. It is a hearty stew made with a variety of ingredients, including meat, vegetables, and spices. The dish is typically prepared by slow-cooking the ingredients together, allowing the flavors to meld and the meat to become tender. The most common type of meat used in kushtuara is lamb, but beef, pork, or a combination of these can also be used. The vegetables often include potatoes, carrots, and onions, which add a sweet and earthy flavor to the dish. Spices such as paprika, cumin, and black pepper are commonly used to enhance the taste. Kushtuara is often served with bread or rice, and it is a staple in Balkan cuisine, enjoyed for its rich flavors and comforting qualities.
