Ostropel

Ostropel is a stew similar to tocană, predominantly made with chicken thighs or drumsticks which are fried and added to a tomato sauce that is thickened with flour and spiced up with garlic and pepper. Rabbit, lamb, or other types of meat may be used, although vegetarian versions also exist.

The dish is typically served with a side of mămăligă (polenta). In the region of Oltenia, people also add vinegar and carrots to the sauce and serve the dish with boiled potatoes instead of mămăligă.
