Barbagiuan

Barbagiuan is a traditional Albanian appetizer consisting of small, crispy pastries filled with a savory mixture of ingredients like cheese, spinach, and herbs. The dough is typically made from thinly rolled flour and water, then folded around the filling to form a pocket or roll. These pastries are deep-fried until golden and served as a snack or starter, often enjoyed during festive occasions. Their combination of crunchy exterior and flavorful interior makes them a popular and distinctive dish in Albanian cuisine.
