Tocană

Tocană, also known as tocăniță, is a Romanian stew prepared with tomato, garlic and sweet paprika.

[1][2] Traditionally, it is consumed with a cornmeal mush named mămăligă.

[2] The dish has a history of being consumed by shepherds in the Romanian mountains.

[3] Derived from the Latin "toccare" into the modern "toca", the term is sometimes rendered as "tokana" in English.

Variations include the inclusion of mushrooms in the stew's preparation.
