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.
