“Bunicii” for grandparents, and “bunica” for grandmother (Oma). In Romania, family has a much higher importance than in Germany, and grandmothers, who continue working alongside their families even into old age, have been and still are the backbone of many families.

A hard life, yet always there for everyone – this defines the daily reality of these women. And… they are and will remain the best cooks in the whole country, and we can confirm this from our own experience.

They are not prepared everywhere in Romania according to the same recipe. Depending on the region and taste of the individual, they also in size vary from one place to another.

Sarmas contains meat wrapped with other ingredients in vine leaves or sauerkraut. Sarmale can be without meat (vegetarian) with vegetables.

We present a special recipe from Moldova with meat filling.
For 1 kg of minced meat (pork, beef, chicken or a mixture) add:
- 4 - 5 medium onions
- 100 grams of rice
- salt, pepper - one teaspoon each
- Dill and parsley - to taste
- Tomato broth (150 grams)
- 4 tablespoons oil (in combination with chicken)

If the meat is lean, add a few tablespoons of breadcrumbs or corn flour to better tie the mixture. Mix the contents well and then wrap it in vine leaves or cabbage, according to your preferences.

Cook for about two (2) hours, placing the sarmale close to each other in a saucepan and adding water. When the liquid in which the sarmale boils is low, add hot water to compensate. Check after the first hour of cooking and then whenever you think it is necessary.

We thank "Mama" Postolache for the recipe and her daughter for work and images.

From the amount of ingredients, about 120 wires are produced. They are usually consumed with sour cream (cream / cream) and hot pepper (chili pepper). Also, depending on the region, white bread and polenta (from maize semolina, similar to Italian polenta) are added.

We wish you good appetite (Bon appetite) 😋🥰

Mr. Sebastian Mallach sent us many pictures from his trip to Romania the day before yesterday. He traveled across Transylvania / Romania and, as it seems, all by bicycle 🥰

Once again, beautiful pictures from Mr. Sebastian Mallach — and where they are from... everyone will recognize immediately. And hats off, Mr. Mallach was always (here in July 2025) traveling by bicycle, something that would definitely be far too exhausting for us 🥰
