Vreți să mâncați o gustare ca în Roma antică? Rețeta de „moretum”, pasta de verdețuri și brânză • Newsweek România

The ancient Roman snack "moretum" is a herb and cheese spread, documented by poet Virgil over 2,000 years ago. This healthy, easy-to-make dish can be enjoyed at any time of day, especially appealing to vegetarians. While there are various recipes, it typically includes a mix of greens, herbs, and cheese, served on bread. The preparation involves crushing the herbs in a mortar, mixing them with cheese, vinegar, and seasoning. The recipe shared is based on the version by Roman agronomist Lucius Columella, featuring ingredients like lettuce, arugula, parsley, and ricotta cheese. Moretum was popular among Romans and is noted for its flavorful use of herbs, enhancing otherwise bland meals.
