Elbasan Pan Recipe

Elbasan Pan

Elbasan is a traditional Albanian dish made by roasting pan-boiled lamb in a yoghurt sauce. It takes its name from Elbasan, a city in the Republic of Albania. Elbasan pan also found a special place in the Ottoman palace kitchen. Enjoy your meal!

Ingredients:

For: 4 People
Prep: 10 Min
Cook: 30 Min
Ingredients for Pan:
Lamb Meat (Preferably Lamb Arm) 1   Kilogram
Butter 2   Tbsp
Liquid Oil 1   Tbsp
Shallot 500   Grams
Garlic 2   Clove
Thyme 1   Tsp
Dry Basil 1   Tsp
Powdered Red Pepper 1   Tsp (large)
Ingredients for Dressing:
Strained Yogurt 1   Cup
Egg Yolk 3   Qty
Flour 1   Cup
Salt 2   Tsp

Steps:

  1. Cut the boneless lamb arm into chunks at your butcher shop. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil and butter in a cast iron pan and put the meat in the pot. When one side of the meat is browned and sealed (about 3-4 minutes), turn it over and seal the other sides.
  2. Add the shallots to the meat, turn them 1-2 times and sauté together for 2-3 minutes. Add enough hot water and salt to cover them by 4-5 inches and cook on low heat for 45-50 minutes.
  3. Take the egg yolks in a separate bowl and add the yogurt. Take 1 glass of the broth from the cooked meat and add it to the yogurt sauce and mix well. The broth should be warm.
  4. Take the meat cooked in a baking dish, preferably a metal tray. Pour the yogurt mixture over the meat. Bake in the oven at 180 degrees for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
  5. You can take the Elbasan pan from the oven and let it rest for 5-6 minutes, then slice and garnish with finely chopped parsley and serve it with rice pilaf or mashed potatoes. Bon Appetit!
  6. Note: You can also use coarsely chopped onions instead of shallots.
