Tavë Kosi me Spinaq: Albanian Lamb and Spinach Skillet
Experience the rich flavors of Albania with this traditional Tavë Kosi me Spinaq. Succulent lamb and vibrant spinach are baked together in a luscious, tangy yogurt sauce, creating a deeply satisfying and wholesome meal perfect for any family gathering.
Let's cook.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the lamb cubes and sear them on all sides until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the lamb from the skillet and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium. Add the chopped onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
Stir in the chopped spinach and cook until it wilts, about 3-5 minutes. Return the seared lamb to the skillet and mix well.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the plain whole milk yogurt, all-purpose flour, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
Pour the yogurt mixture evenly over the lamb and spinach in the skillet. Gently stir to combine.
Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 30-35 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly and lightly golden on top.
