I omitted the lemon because I find its a bit acidic for my taste but otherwise The BEST tirokafteri recipe out there! I always get high praises from my picky brother in law and he requests this time and time again. I made it for my husband’s pot luck at work and even it was gone. Go ahead and make it, it will quickly become a favorite.
