SPICY CHEESE-STUFFED TOMATOES
This appetizer is particularly delicious when made with sweet and juicy, medium to small seasonal tomatoes. Combined with cheese and spicy garlic, this starter will boost your appetite.
CREPES WITH COTTAGE AND RAISINS
Stuffed with cheese or mashed potatoes, fried in butter or baked in the oven, ready to eat or refrigerated for the next day – crepes are so good they disappear right away.
SPRING RADISH SALAD
The radish salad took it´s place on our table at Easter.
ADJIKA – THE BEST HOMEMADE SALSA
The best way of preparing this flavorful salsa borrowed from Georgian cuisine is to use vegetables from your own garden – fragrant and fresh. Wash the vegetables and prepare them to be minced. Choose oblong, not too juicy tomatoes and cut them into quarters. Wash the peppers, deseed, and slice them. Do the same with the flat pimento peppers.
STUFFED PICKLED PEPPERS
Stuffed pickled peppers are made with fresh seasonal vegetables. For making this preserve, my parents begin with covering their kitchen floor with plastic film and then start chopping the cabbage, carrots and onions. My father takes part in the entire process, because he knows best how to finely chop the cabbage. My mother sautés the onion and prepares the peppers. It is served with mashed potatoes or meat. I, for instance, like to eat these pickles with fresh cottage cheese.
WATERMELON SALAD WITH MOLDOVAN BRÂNZĂ
Watermelon is the most awaited summer delight in Moldova. Brânza is part of our national DNA. Watermelon Salad with Moldovan Brânza sounds weird, but is super tasty.
RAMSON SALAD
My parents and their friends had a tradition: on every 9th of May they used to celebrate the Victory Day by going to the same forest. We were doing the traditional 9th of May BBQ. Also kids were picking up ramson and lilies of the valley. Even today, when I smell these wonderful flowers I quiver with nostalgia over those magical childhood days.
