This recipe is one which required translation. It takes a little time to translate the intent and accuracy of the original cook... Fortunately, I have not lost my basic skills in the Romanian language...By jove, I think I've got it... A favourite when I was growing up. May be served with boiled potatoes or a rice pilaf. Vegetables could include carrots, parsnips, whole green beans. Ingredients:
