I love that you recreated a traditional dish after your trip, I’m sure it transported you back to Albania a little bit.
Which ingredient or flavor surprised you the most in this recipe?

I discovered this year that the south of Albania has a huge number of vegetarian dishes – really, a veggie-lover’s paradise! I noticed that they always use long peppers, which makes stuffing more difficult, but also makes the dish stand out among other Balkan stuffed pepper dishes.

Those stuffed peppers look absolutely delicious, Chef Sarah! 🇦🇱 Such a great way to bring a bit of your Albanian food holiday back home. The colors are vibrant, and the rice filling looks super hearty and flavorful. Can’t wait to hear if they satisfied you! 👏🌶️

Did you try incorporating any local Albanian herbs or cheeses into the filling?
