Byrek me Mish

Nothing fills you up more then one of Albania’s most tasty and comforting classic dishes. This flaky pastry pie is stuffed full of mince, onion and potatoes with a warming hint of paprika. What’s makes it so appealing to my family is the ability to make it ahead of time, eat it hot or cold and serving it straight to the table makes a great as a centre piece to impress family and friends. Albanian Meat Byrek is another popular and traditional byrek dish known as Albanian Byrek me Mish or Pite me Mish. The meat is simmered into a thick mixture which is cooked in between layers of filo pastry (I recommend that you make this with homemade filo pastry). The pastry is flakey and the filing soft. It can be eaten fresh and hot but will mostly be served when it is cooled and the water has soaked into the pastry. Great the next day for lunch.
