Life in the countryside is very different from life in the cities. It is characterized by family, hospitality, traditions, hardships, and hard work well into old age.

And ... it is often a happier life than we imagine. Those who have little worry less, and the many daily news updates of the world, which we constantly receive on our phones (and don’t really need), reach these people less often or perhaps not at all.

We thank the photographer Sorin Onișor ( Sorin Onișor ) for the permission to use these atmospheric images.

We are excited to now present Romanian recipes in German with the corresponding preparation instructions. Thanks for the recipes to instagram.com/rumanische__rezepte/ ... here you can also always find a video of the dish and the recipe in Romanian.

CIORBA DE ZARZAVAT, a delicious Romanian vegetable soup, where "lovage" is essential as it gives the dish its special flavor.

Ingredients:
1/2 onion
1 red bell pepper
3-4 carrots
A piece of celery
4 fresh tomatoes
1 small bowl of frozen peas (or a can)
250 ml of tomato purée
500 grams of stew meat
Vegetable broth, salt, pepper
A bit of lemon juice
Sour cream
Hot peppers
Lovage

Dice the onion, bell pepper, carrots, celery, and tomatoes and briefly sauté them. You can also add diced potatoes to taste.

Then cover the ingredients with water and let them simmer. Add the stew meat (cut into bite-sized pieces). Add enough water to cover, along with the peas and tomato purée. Stir occasionally and add water as needed.

Once the vegetables and meat are cooked, season the soup with vegetable broth (homemade or store-bought), salt, pepper, and a bit of lemon juice. The soup tastes best with sour cream, hot peppers, and freshly chopped lovage, added just before serving.

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) 😋🥰
