There are times, when we are on the lookout for something really tasty to eat, and do not know what to do about it. The food available off the shelf is mostly not good enough, because it has too many preservatives and do not taste natural. Again, we might not have time enough to cook some gourmet dishes by ourselves. In such situations, easy to cook Romanian delicacies can come to your aid.
Take the simple Romanian doughnuts, for example. All you need to make this delicious treat are 500 grams of flour, 120 grams of butter, about 40 grams of yeast, 250 ml of warm milk, a tablespoon of sugar, a pinch of salt, a teaspoon of rum, some lemon peel, and two egg yolks.
Mix the yeast and the sugar first and rub them together until they get a syrupy appearance. Next, put in one by one the butter, the yolks one at a time, the rum, the peel, the milk, and finally the flour. Set the dough aside for about 20 minutes and let it rise. Spread the dough out so that it is about a couple of centimeters thick and use a glass tumbler to cut out doughnut shapes. Let them rise for another 20 minutes and they are ready to bake.
Another easy Romanian recipe that is good for the taste buds is the potato broth. The ingredients you require are 600 grams of potatoes, 100 grams of onions, 100 grams of carrots, 50 grams of parsley, a liter of borsch, a bunch of green parsley and another of lovage along with a little salt.
Chop the onions and the verdure and fry them together in oil. Next, pour in some water and add a pinch of salt. Cut the potatoes into square shapes and put them in, allowing the whole thi
ng to boil. Also boil the borsch separately, and add it into the mixture once the potatoes are done. Add salt to taste. Garnish with some more verdure and it is ready to serve.
If you would like to cook a meat preparation, meat balls could be what you are looking for. It is a typical Romanian dish that takes very little of your effort and time. You are going to need 500 grams of minced meat, 50 grams of bread, 50 grams of onions, 3 to 4 garlic cloves, an egg, oil, pepper, salt, and parsley or dill to cook this delicious preparation.
To start off, get the meat minced with the help of a mincing machine. Dip the bread a little in water and then squeeze the water out. Also fry the onions in a couple spoons of oil for about one minute.
Add together the minced meat, minced parsley or dill, one egg, a bit of pepper, salt, and garlic and mix them well. Pour some flour or breadcrumbs on a plate and keep it aside. Next, make small ball shapes using the meat mixture and roll them over the flour or crust. Now preheat a pan for a few minutes at a medium temperature, pour in oil half a centimeter deep and fry the meatballs quickly. Fry them on one side, turn them over and fry some more and then take them off the pan to put in new ones. To keep them warm and soft, place them in a bowl over a pot of hot water and cover with a lid.
Serve hot with vegetables or salad like beans, cabbage, spinach or lettuce. To serve cold, garnish with green pepper, tomatoes, radish or mustard. You now have ready an easy to cook, delicious Romanian dish, something you can prepare whenever you are short of time.
