Food is the cornerstone to any culture! Romanians love food and to get to know Romania properly you need to experience the full food immersion.
Sarmale – stuffed vine / cabage leaves
Each area does them differently and of course the best ones are made by my grandma!
Mămăligă, Brânză și Smântână – Polenta, cottage cheese and sour cream (Vegetarian)
Berryl made the recipe look fancy, when I was growing up, raw chopped onion mixed with the cheese elevated the whole dish!
Mici – Skinless sausages
Romanians eat mici at every barbecue they go to, generally we don’t make them ourselves but if you do so you get extra Romanian points!
Salată de Vinete – Eggplant (aubergine) dip (Vegetarian)
Big no, no! My grandma says never chop the eggplant salad (it is a dip) with a knife, always use the wooden cleaver. My grandma has a wooden cleaver that she only uses for eggplant salad.
Saramură de crap – Carp in brine
Grilled fish and brine makes Romanians really really happy!
