The Country: Albania is located next to Macedonia, Montenegro, and Greece. Albania has five airports and their food is influenced by Greece, Turkey, and Italy. I can definitely see the Greek influence in the dish I made tonight.
Ingredients:
1 Green pepper
1 Red pepper
3 large tomatoes
12 oz of Feta Cheese
1 stick of butter
A pinch of salt
A pinch of black pepper
A pinch of red pepper spice

Notes: Pretty tasty.... It's not a full dinner, it's more of a side salad, but I think I did pretty well for my first foreign dish. Well, I'll admit to having help from my mom (thanks mom!- she helped with the dicing... I have yet to acquire knife skills). I would advise eating it with a simple main course because it's very flavorful.
Rating (out of five): 3.5- it was good, but it wasn't a "WOW MY TASTE BUDS ARE GOING TO HEAVEN" type of food.
