A friend from Romania taught me a recipe similar to this one.

Traditionally, honey and more nuts are used. Debra Wasserman

cooked this vegan dish on Good Morning America.

 

1 pound eggless pasta (454 G)

12 cups water (3 liters)

1 cup maple syrup (240 ml)

1/2 cup walnuts, ground (115 ml) or 1/3 cup poppy seeds,

ground

1/2 teaspoon lemon rind, minced (2 ml)

1-1/2 cups raisins (360 ml)

1/2 teaspoon powdered cloves (2 ml)

1 teaspoon cinnamon (5 ml)

 

Cook pasta in boiling water until done. Drain.

Heat maple syrup and walnuts or poppy seeds in a large pot over

medium heat for 2 minutes. Add lemon rind, raisins, clove powder,

and cinnamon. Continue cooking for 3 more minutes. Add cooked

pasta. Mix well and serve warm. You can also pour the mixture

into a baking dish and bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes before

serving.

What an interesting recipe. Wish I had it when my

Romanian guests were here so I could have asked

them about it. I'll have to email it to them when I

know they are back home and ask if it is something

they would enjoy.

Thanks for sharing it here.

I did ask them to tell me about a few traditional dinner

items they frequently eat. They said lots of soups and

stuffed cabbage rolls filled with meat and rice. I figured

I could make a vegetarian version using some veggie

ground in place of the meat.
