Mâncare de mazăre

Mâncare de mazăre is a Romanian pea stew. The peas are typically cooked with chopped onions, carrots, bell peppers, parsnip, tomato sauce, vegetable stock, and seasonings. The stew can be prepared only with vegetables (it is then suitable for eating during Lent) or combined with meat, usually chicken, beef, or pork. Warm and filling, this pea stew can be garnished with dill and is usually eaten for lunch or dinner. Typical accompaniments to this dish include fresh salads, slices of bread, and Romanian telemea cheese.
