Sometimes it happens that we want to eat something tasty, but do not have time to cook some elaborate preparations. We all know that to cook something special means to devote more time and energy, which many of us usually do not have. Ready to eat foods are not a better option either, because these foods contains preservatives and most of the time they have a synthetic flavor or feel in them. In such a situation a Romanian gourmet recipe can fulfill your purpose.
Let us take for example, the recipe of the Romanian Doughnut, which is very easy to prepare. The ingredients are also very much common. You only need 500 g of wheat flour, 120 g of yellow or white butter, 250 ml of milk, 40 g of yeast, 1 tablespoon of white sugar, 1 teaspoon of rum, two yolks of egg, a little bit of lemon peel and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
The process is as follows. First you mix very well the yeast and the sugar until it becomes a paste. Then put in the butter, egg yolk, rum, lemon peel and milk, one at a time, and mix thoroughly. Lastly, mix the flour. Wait for another 20 minutes to let the dough rise. Stretch the dough out using a rolling pin and make it about 2 cm thick. Then cut out the doughnut shapes by a round glass. Wait for another 20 minutes to let them rise further and they are ready for baking.
Potato Broth is again another very easy Romanian recipe, which is extremely easy to make. You need only 600 g of potato, 50 g of parsley, 100 g of onions, 100 g of carrot, 1 liter of borsch, a little bit of salt, with green parsley and lovage one bunch each.
First, you cut the potatoes in square shapes and set it aside. Next, fry the verdure with sliced onions in oil. Then add some water and a little bit of salt and the potatoes. Let it boil for some time. Boil the borsch in another pot and add the mixture with the potatoes when they become tender. Add more salt if required and dress it with verdure to serve.
Another classic example of a Romanian delicacy are meat balls, if you have a penchant for meat dishes. This also requires very little time and effort to make. The ingredients which you will need are, 500 g of minced meat, 50 g of bread, 50 g of onions, 3-4 garlic cloves, 1 egg, some parsley or dill, a little bit of salt and pepper and, of course, some oil for frying.
First you dip the bread in water and press the excess water out. Keep it aside. Fry the onions in about 2 teaspoon of oil.
Then take the minced meat and thoroughly mix the egg, chopped parsley or dill, garlic, pepper and salt with it. Spread some flour or breadcrumbs on a plate and keep it aside. Now, make small ball-like shapes by the meat mixture and roll them over the breadcrumbs or flour. Then pour some oil about half cm deep in a preheated pan at a medium temperature. Fry the meatballs very quickly turning them once or twice. When they are done, take them off the pan and put the new meatballs to fry.
Meat balls can be served both hot and cold. To keep them warm and soft you have to put the balls in a bowl and put some hot water in another pot beneath it and cover the whole thing with a lid. Hot meatballs can be served with salads or vegetables like beans, cabbage, spinach and lettuce. If you like, it can be served cold with tomatoes, radish, green pepper or mustard also. These are three typical Romanian delicacies, which you can make in no time.
