Tochitură moldovenească

Tochitură moldovenească is a Moldavian-style meat preparation served with mămăligă. Niculina Măric’s recipe combines pork, smoked sausage, pork liver and kidneys. The ingredients are cut into pieces and cooked in lard, with garlic added toward the end and salt and pepper used for seasoning.[1]

The cooked meat is divided among plates and topped with a fried egg and grated cheese. Firm mămăligă is served alongside. This preparation uses both meat and offal, with smoked sausage contributing another flavour to the mixture.[1]
