Murături

Murături (Romanian for pickles) are vegetables or fruit pickled in brine, with added dill, oak leaves, celery and others for flavoring and preservation, as found in the Romanian cuisine of Romania and Moldova.[1][2][3] The pickles are ordinarily made of locally grown produce such as beetroot, cucumber, green tomatoes (Romanian: gogonele), carrots, cabbage, bell peppers, watermelons, mushrooms, turnips, celery and cauliflower.[4]

Some murături (with cucumbers, green tomato, and cauliflower)

After fermentation, the pickle juice becomes sour and is sometimes used in soups such as borsch.[5]
