Romania

Baked barley casserole. I'm working through the eastern European "sour belt" and this dish really exemplifies the culture's love of sharply flavored dishes. I love sour but I'm not digging what we've been eating in this region (although the  Hungarian paprikash from last night was pretty terrific). This dinner had lots of vegetables but no garlic and only parsley, salt, and pepper for seasoning. Onward!

Somalia's food reflects the east African country's proximity to the Middle East and India. Lots of spices and chilies. This is a poor country (their top export is live animals, which I found terrifying and did not explore) where camels are eaten, but they also consume a lot of vegetables and rice and season their meals well. We loved the spiced Somali rice, perfumed with cinnamon, clove, cardamom, and cumin. Our vegetable was cabbage stewed with turmeric, cumin, ginger, chile pepper, and sesame seeds.   10/1/20
