Romberi

Romberi is a culinary term referring to a type of savory pancake or fritter, often found in Eastern European cuisines, particularly in Romania and Moldova. These dishes are typically made from grated vegetables, such as zucchini, potatoes, or carrots, mixed with flour, eggs, and seasonings. The mixture is then fried in oil until golden brown and crispy.

The specific ingredients and preparation methods can vary regionally and by household. Some romberi recipes may include onions, garlic, herbs like dill or parsley, and sometimes cheese. The resulting fritters are usually served as a main course, a side dish, or even as a snack. They are commonly accompanied by sour cream, yogurt, or a garlic-based sauce.

Romberi are known for their satisfying texture, combining a crispy exterior with a tender, flavorful interior. They are a versatile dish that can be adapted to various dietary preferences, with variations sometimes incorporating meat or different types of vegetables. The dish represents a simple yet delicious way to utilize fresh produce.
