Ostropel

Ostropel

Ostropel is a typical Romanian stew that is primarily made from chicken mixed with a thick tomato sauce.[1] Additionally, garlic or spring onions can be added to the dish. Rabbit, lamb, or other types of meat are also sometimes used and, alternatively, vegetarian versions can be made during fasting periods.[2]

Origins

Like some other dishes, this is among the Romanian foods with no equivalents abroad. Hence, it is seen as staple of traditional Romanian cuisine

Preparation

The dish is traditionally prepared by first frying chicken drumsticks or thighs. Afterwards, water is mixed together with the cooking oil, tomato sauce, flour, garlic and onions until the sauce reaches a boiling point, at which point the chicken is added and left to boil for another fifteen minutes, or until the sauce gains a thick consistency. Before serving, parsley is sprinkled on top.[3] Mămăligă is typically used as a side dish, together with a light salad.

Variations

Like many Romanian dishes, the ostropel has regional variations. For example, in Moldova the recipe is rather simple, without many other ingredients added to the sauce.[4] However, in Oltenia carrots and vinegar are added to the sauce, and the final dish is served with boiled potatoes instead of mămăligă.[5]
