🇷🇴 Romania recipe
Ciorba de Perisoare
Ciorba de Perisoare is one of Romania's most comforting soups, a light yet deeply flavorful sour broth brimming with tender pork and rice meatballs and a garden's worth of fresh vegetables. Soured with traditional borsch liquid or lemon juice and brightened with a shower of lovage leaves, this soup balances tang, richness, and freshness in every spoonful. It is everyday Romanian home cooking at its finest.
