Tochitură

Tochitură is a traditional stew made with various types of meat such as pork, beef or poultry, while the variations may also include sausages, offal, and fresh or smoked bacon. Most varieties include the addition of onions, garlic, and wine, but the choice of spices and the use of tomato sauce usually depends on the region. The stew should be enjoyed hot, traditionally over Romanian polenta, with a fried sunny-side-up egg and some grated cheese on top. Usually consumed as a main dish, it is often garnished with freshly chopped parsley and accompanied by pickled vegetables. The most popular variety is tochitură Moldovenească - made with pork and sausages.
