📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Brav u mlijeku means 'lamb in milk,' a traditional dish of northern Montenegro's mountains. Simmering lamb in milk with potatoes, garlic, and rosemary makes the meat tender and creates a mellow sauce. It was born from mountain life rich in livestock herding.

🌆 Where it's eaten: In a mountain village of northern Montenegro, lamb and potatoes in white milk sauce are ladled from a pot hung in a stone house's fireplace.
