Traditional Albanian Braised Eggs Stew

Assemble the ingredients: eggs, bay leaf, black pepper, tomato, cinnamon, paprika, flour.

Warm oil in a heavy pot. Add the eggs and cook until braised.

Stir in the aromatics and spices — the backbone of Albanian flavors.

Add the remaining ingredients and cook gently, stirring occasionally, until tender.

Taste and adjust seasoning; the flavor should deepen as it cooks.

Plate and serve with traditional Albanian accompaniments such as bread, rice, or fresh herbs.
