Weekend plan: sarmale.
Romania's most-loved dish is cabbage rolls — pickled cabbage leaves wrapped around pork, rice and onion, layered with smoked meat and slow-simmered until tender.
The hardest part is preparing the leaves. Skip it: our cabbage leaves in brine come ready to roll.
Serve with sour cream, hot polenta and a chili pepper on the side. Save this for Sunday.
