Tocană
Tocană with mămăligă
Tocană, also known as tocăniță, is a Romanian stew prepared with tomato, garlic and sweet paprika.[1][2] Traditionally, it is consumed with a cornmeal mush named mămăligă.[2] The dish has a history of being consumed by shepherds in the Romanian mountains.[3] Derived from the Latin "toccare" into the modern "toca", the term is sometimes rendered as "tokana" in English.
Variations[]
Variations include the inclusion of mushrooms in the stew's preparation.[2][4] Additional variations include the addition or use of meat, such as lamb, and potatoes.[3]
