Chiftele are delicious Romanian meatballs, typically made from a blend of ground beef or pork, mixed with fragrant herbs, garlic, and breadcrumbs. These savory morsels are often enjoyed as a traditional dish, served with a side of polenta or fresh salad. While they provide a hearty protein source, it's worth noting that they can be quite rich, especially when fried.
