Notes
This recipe is brought to you by Nina from Lemons and Luggage.
Here is what she had to say about the recipe.
"Who doesn't love a good bean stew? This traditional white bean stew from Albania is popular in Albania itself as well as in other countries with a significant Albanian population, such as Kosovo and Macedonia. As a typical home-cooked meal you won't necessarily find it in the restaurants of the quirky capital Tirana , but that's why it's a great dish to cook at home while dreaming about travel."
