A BIG THANK YOU to Kathy & Linda & Doris & all the HOSPITALITY TEAM who worked so hard to make our missions dinner PERFECT!

I promised several of our church members today that I would post the recipe for Tamara's Romanian Stew:
Ciorbă de Perişoare (pronounced Chee yorba day Pear ee shworay)
Sour Meatball Soup

5 small carrots diced
2 small onions diced (one for meatball mixture other for soup)

1 green pepper diced (or ½ red, yellow, green)
½ kilo of ground meat
1 egg
1 ½ tablespoon of salt
1 cup of rice
1 tsp of pepper
2-3 liter of water
Parsley
Pinch of oregano
½ cup of tomato pastes (sauce)
Sour Cream

1. Mix meat, egg, salt and pepper together
2. mix in one onion and rice into the meat mixture
3. Make meatballs (use water on hand so it won’t stick)
4. When water comes to a boil add meatballs to water. Cook for 40 minutes
5. add, carrots, root, green pepper, parsley, onion to water and let cook for about 20 more minutes
6. add salt, pepper tomato paste to taste.
