Tocană
Tocană is a traditional Romanian dish, primarily a stew made with various types of meat and vegetables. It is a common dish in the Romanian cuisine, and its variations can be found in other cuisines of the Balkan region.
Ingredients and Preparation[edit | edit source]
The main ingredient in Tocană is meat, which can be pork, beef, lamb, or poultry. The meat is usually cut into small pieces and browned in oil or lard. Vegetables such as onions, garlic, carrots, bell peppers, and tomatoes are also used. The dish is seasoned with salt, pepper, and various herbs such as thyme, bay leaves, and parsley.
The preparation of Tocană involves browning the meat, then adding the vegetables and seasonings. The mixture is then simmered until the meat is tender and the flavors are well combined. Some variations of the dish may include wine or vinegar for added flavor.
Variations[edit | edit source]
There are many variations of Tocană in Romanian cuisine, depending on the region and personal preferences. Some versions may include additional ingredients such as mushrooms, potatoes, or olives. In the region of Transylvania, for example, Tocană is often made with pork and served with polenta.
In addition to Romanian cuisine, similar dishes can be found in other Balkan cuisines. For example, the Hungarian goulash is a similar type of stew, as is the Bulgarian gyuvetch.
Serving[edit | edit source]
Tocană is typically served hot, often with bread or polenta on the side. It is a popular dish for family meals and gatherings, and is often served in traditional Romanian restaurants.
