Turț

From WikiMD.com - Food, Medicine & Wellness Encyclopedia

Turț is a traditional Romanian dish, specifically from the Maramureș region. It is a type of cheese pie, made with a unique type of cheese known as brânză de burduf. The dish is typically served during special occasions and holidays, such as Christmas and Easter.

Ingredients and Preparation[edit | edit source]

The main ingredient in Turț is brânză de burduf, a type of cheese made from sheep's milk. The cheese is traditionally made by Romanian shepherds and is known for its strong flavor and slightly crumbly texture. Other ingredients in Turț include eggs, flour, and sometimes a bit of sugar.

To prepare Turț, the cheese is first grated and then mixed with the eggs and flour to form a dough. The dough is then rolled out and cut into small pieces, which are then filled with more cheese. The filled pieces are then baked until golden brown.

Cultural Significance[edit | edit source]

Turț is a significant part of Romanian culture, particularly in the Maramureș region. It is often served during major holidays and celebrations, and is considered a symbol of hospitality and generosity. The dish is also often associated with the shepherding tradition in Romania, as the cheese used in its preparation is typically made by shepherds.
