Mujdei

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mujdei (IPA: [muʒ'dej], no plural) is a spicy Romanian sauce. It is made from garlic cloves crushed and ground into a paste, salted and mixed energetically with vegetable oil (sunflower oil is almost always used). Depending on regional preferences and the dish it is served with, water, vinegar, or other ingredients may be added. The result is a white sauce with a very strong garlic flavor, varying in consistency from a thick paste to a very runny sauce.

It is served with a variety of dishes, including fried fish, fried or grilled chicken or pork, rasol, even fried potatoes (French fries), etc.

The word is derived from "must de ai", that is "must of garlic".
