Murături

Murături, a staple in Romanian and Moldovan cuisine, are pickled vegetables or fruits that impart a tangy zest to numerous dishes. Locally grown produce such as beetroot, cucumbers, green tomatoes, carrots, cabbage, bell peppers, melons, mushrooms, turnips, celery, and cauliflower are preserved in brine or vinegar to create these delectable pickles. Not only do murături enhance the natural flavors of the vegetables, but they also help extend their shelf life. This traditional preservation method is an esteemed part of the culinary heritage in these regions, enriching meals with vibrant and robust flavors.
