With Thanksgiving just around the corner, here’s a quick round-up of some Romanian recipes that would pair perfectly as accompaniments to your Turkey!
Starters
Pâine De Ţară {Country Bread}
Bread is an absolute must when it comes to Thanksgiving and sopping up all the delicious juices and gravies.
Main
Mujdei De Usturoi {Garlic Sauce}
Step aside cranberry sauce! Dip your turkey in this garlic sauce for a complimentary zinger that contrasts the sweetness of the turkey.
Conopidă cu Brânză {Cauliflower Casserole with Cheese}
I don’t know about you, but when I think of Thanksgiving, I think of casseroles galore! And the ooey-gooey-ier the better! Replacing pasta or potatoes with cauliflower, but loading up on cheese, this casserole is still as dense and divine as any other Thanksgiving side dish.
Dessert
Gomboti / Găluște cu Prune {Plum Dumplings}
Plums are the perfect fall fruit, especially when hugged by a gooey potato dough and rolled in a delicate blend of breadcrumbs and sugar. Most of the sweetness comes from the plums themselves. It’s like dessert gnocchi that you’ll keep going back for more!
Placinta cu Mere {Romanian “Apple Pie” Cake}
There are a few pie staples on a Thanksgiving dessert table, including the warm and cinnamon-infused apple pie. If you love the combination of tartness and sweetness, give this twist on the traditional recipe, you’re sure to love this apple pie CAKE.
And there you have it! A few Romanian recipes I think would compliment an American Thanksgiving.
