Primele rețete românești de murături, publicate în 1849. De unde provine numele delicioaselor acrituri? • Newsweek România

The first Romanian pickling recipes were published in 1849, although pickles have existed for about 4,000 years. The term "murătură" derives from the Latin "muria," meaning brine, contrasting with the Anglo-Saxon "pickles." Pickling is a cherished tradition in Romania, often passed down through generations. Maria Maurer authored the first printed recipes in her 1849 cookbook, which included various pickling methods. The article highlights the historical significance of pickles in Romanian cuisine and provides three recipes for pickled cucumbers, eggplants, and mushrooms, emphasizing the use of vinegar instead of brine, despite the latter being more popular among Romanians.
