    Romanian recipes

    You'll find lots of classic recipes in this archive like Romanian cabbage rolls (sarmale), Romanian chicken pilaf, Romanian stuffed peppers (ardei umpluti) and Romanian green pea stew (mancare de mazare).

    Some of my absolute favorite Romanian recipes are smoky Romanian bean stew, savory pies made with feta or ground meat, Romanian meatball soup made with rice meatballs, and cozonac - walnut and cocoa brioche served at the holidays.
