Romanian meal

Stuffed vine leaves – Potato and ham salad

Constantin runs the site canteen with his wife and several other staff. From 7am to 4pm he is cooking breakfasts and lunch non-stop, before clearing up, ordering and preparing the food for the following day. Constantin is from Romania and I was keen to do a meal with the canteen which anyone on site could buy. His suggestion for vine leaves was great, but in order to prepare them, he and his wife spent Sunday with me in the site canteen in what is a very labour intensive meal. The result was wonderful and was quickly consumed on Monday lunchtime.
