Stufat

Stufat is a Romanian meat stew, typically made with lamb, chopped scallions, fresh green garlic, tomato paste, oil, and seasonings. This traditional dish is connected with the arrival of spring, the time when new plants and herbs are starting to grow. It is typically prepared around Easter festivities in Romania and in the Balkan region. Stufat is usually garnished with scallions and fresh green garlic and accompanied by roasted potatoes, a bowl of fresh salad, and a glass of wine.
