The meat dishes are appreciated in the Albanian cuisine for their consistency. The meats that are used in these dishes range from beef and veal to poultry and fish. However, the lamn has the greatest popularity in this country. The meats can be grilled and served on their own, or along with vegetables. The meat is used in a great number of recipes that go from appetizers to soups, main dishes, such as stews and snacks. Besides meat, which is the essential ingredient of these dishes, the Albanians use beans, walnut and the quintessential yoghurt. Some of the most famous recipes are:


 * Musaka with Potatoes
 * Baked lamb with yoghurt
 * Fried Meatballs
 * Chicken with Walnuts
 * Lamb Stew with Okra

Among the poultry, the most important roles are held by chicken meat and by turkey. The second one is used in recipes such as Turkey-cock with corn bread and Turkey Breasts with Estragon and Mustard.
