Fërgesë — the summer classic of Tirana

Fërgesë comes in many forms but the iconic one is fërgesë me speca dhe djathë: roasted peppers, tomato, garlic and cottage cheese baked in a clay tavë until the cheese melts into the vegetables.

Served with bread, raki on the side. The version with chunks of liver (fërgesë me mëlçi) is the carnivore upgrade.
