Meat in saç

Lamb or goat meat slowly roasted in a pot, very common in the mountainous areas of Vlora.

Mishi në saç is a traditional Albanian meat dish prepared by slow-roasting meat beneath a saç, a heavy metal dome covered with hot embers. The method is prized for producing exceptionally tender, juicy meat with a lightly smoky flavor, and it remains a centerpiece of family gatherings, celebrations, and rural hospitality throughout Albania.
