Tochitură Moldovenească

Tochitură Moldovenească is a traditional and Moldovan stew that has its origin in the historical region of Moldavia—an area which is now shared between Romania and the Republic of Moldova. The stew is made by simmering pork, sausages, and bacon together with onions, garlic, spices, white wine, and occasionally tomato sauce and pork offal.

The dish is usually accompanied by creamy polenta, grated cheese, and fried eggs. Peppers and pickled vegetables are occasionally served on the side. There are numerous variations on the dish, so it is not uncommon to see tochitură cooked with sausages and mushroom sauce instead of meat chunks.
