Frequently Asked Questions
What are some must-try Romanian dishes to make with these ingredients?
Start with sarmale, cabbage rolls stuffed with minced meat and rice, seasoned with our paprika and thyme. Mămăligă, a polenta side, pairs perfectly with stews like tochitură. For a quick appetiser, spread zacusca on bread or use it in salads.
How should I store Romanian preserves and spices?
Store dry spices like paprika in airtight containers in a cool, dark place to retain flavour for up to a year. Refrigerate opened jars of zacusca or pickled vegetables and use within a month. Freeze cabbage rolls prepped for cooking to extend shelf life.
Are these products suitable for vegetarians?
Many items like zacusca, polenta, and certain pickled vegetables are vegetarian-friendly. Always check labels for meat-based products like sausage spices, but we highlight plant-based options for inclusive cooking.
Can I find gluten-free Romanian ingredients here?
Yes, staples like polenta and most spices are naturally gluten-free. Look for zacusca varieties without wheat thickeners, and pair with rice for traditional dishes adapted to gluten-free diets.
