Kabuni

This is a traditional Albanian recipe and it has been in my family menu since I was born. I love the combination of tastes and you'll know what I mean after you've tasted so go at your kitchen and start making it. It is super easy! 

Kjo eshte nje recete tradicionale Shqipetare dhe ka qene pjese e menuse sone familjare qe kur kam lindur une. E pelqej tej mase kombinimin e shijeve dhe kete do ta kuptoni vetem mbasi ta keni provuar, prandaj shkoni ne guzhinen tuaj dhe filloni ta pergatisni. Eshte shume e thjeshte!
