Around the World in Foodventures (Albania: TAVË KOSI)

I believe this is the 3rd lamb dish in the series, but this one is definitely richer than the prior two.  It's kind of like a cheesy omelette over braised lamb (somehow the yogurt became more cheesy than yogurt-y in the oven) with a little bit of rice.  It's suggested that it be served with a simple green salad, and we conveniently happened to have fresh picked lettuce courtesy of our neighbor who shares his bounty with the whole street every year.  So, here it is:

This post is part of my project: "Around the World in Foodventures" (I decided I want to expand my culinary horizons even further by making the national dish or a popular recipe, or some signature food or traditional meal from every country in the world. Maybe it'll happen alphabetically, or by region, in random order, or something else. I figure if we can't (yet?) travel everywhere, we at least have the luxury of being able to taste it. It’ll be fun and interesting, but obviously, will take a long time to get through -- as we'll only be doing it once a week or so at most. I am chronicling the journey here.)
