Cookbook:Albanian Meat with Walnuts

Gjellë me arra is an Albanian dish of meat with walnuts. It is often made with veal or chicken.

Ingredients

 * 2 tbsp flour
 * 15 shelled walnuts, finely crushed
 * 2 egg yolks, beaten
 * 1 garlic clove, minced
 * ¼ lb (1 stick / 8 tbsp) butter
 * 2–3 lbs of veal or chicken meat, cut into 1-inch cubes

Procedure

 * 1) Place the meat or chicken in a saucepan, and cook over medium heat until tender.
 * 2) Remove the meat, and set it aside in a dish while leaving the remaining juices in the saucepan.
 * 3) In another saucepan, add the flour and stir over heat until it becomes light brown in color—do not overcook! Then, add half the butter.
 * 4) Add the walnuts, garlic, and egg yolks, stirring constantly.
 * 5) Add the meat juices from the other saucepan, and stir until all the ingredients thicken. Immediately remove from the heat to avoid solidifying the egg yolks. Fold in the meat.
 * 6) Pan fry the remaining half stick of butter until brown, and pour over the dish before serving.
