The main parts of Rasol are:

Making Rasol is quite straightforward. All the ingredients – the meat, potatoes, carrots, tomatoes, and onions – are put into a large pot. Then, water is added, and everything is boiled together until the meat is tender and the vegetables are soft. As it cooks, the flavors from the meat and vegetables mix together, creating a delicious broth.
How to Enjoy Rasol
Rasol is usually served warm. It often comes with some of the tasty soup (broth) that's made during cooking. To add more flavor, people sometimes serve it with:
- Mujdei: This is a traditional Romanian sauce made from garlic.
- Horseradish: A spicy root that adds a kick to the dish.
