TOP 10 Romanian Dishes Everyone Should Try at least once

Papanași – Romanian Donuts

Papanași is a boiled or fried donut, stuffed with soft white cheese or cottage cheese and topped with sour cream and a fruit compote. As the most popular of Romanian Desserts, it can be found on almost every restaurant menu and may be considered an honorary Romanian National Dish.

Donuts have a long and complicated history. Fried or boiled dough has been a part of many cultures and it’s hard to track an origin. Romanian Papanași is believed to have derived from Austro-Hungarian cuisine. The name itself may have derived from the Latin “pappa” which in context means kid’s food, rather than father.

Papanași is certainly a fun food, and a must try Romanian Dessert.

Salam de Biscuiti – Romanian Salami Biscuit

Crumbled biscuits, cocoa powder, and other ingredients combine to make a salami shaped Romanian dessert. Absolutely no meat salamis were harmed in the making of this dessert though 😉 A salami even a vegetarian can enjoy.

Cozonac – Marble Cake

Cozonac is a Romanian marble cake – but a little closer to a sweet bread than a cake. It’s particularly popular during holiday periods such as Easter and Christmas.

Plăcinte cu brânză dulce – Fried dough with sweet cheese

The addition of sweetened cheese converts Romania’s famous cheese pies into Romanian desserts. They come in many different forms and can be found at bakeries throughout Romania.

Brânzoaică – Moldovan Sweet Cheese Pastry

The Moldovan version of the sweetened cheese pie. Layers of pastry are folded over onto the top to make a flat pie with 4 triangular flaps. This can have vanilla and raisins added to the cheese and lemon zest added to the dough mix.

Plăcintă cu mere – Romanian Apple Pie

A flat apple pie made with sweet dough, flavored with vanilla. My mother-in-law has a homemade recipe of this Apple Pie passed down from generations in their family. Both my mother-in-law and my wife make some amazingly delicious apple pies.
